Another perfect day of sailing after an excellent night (lots of electrical activity and very big moon), with great winds and good progress. Should be in Kuna Yala (San Blas Islands) by early evening today (8th).
Yesterday we enjoyed a another excellent Happy 2 Hour, and were rewarded with a couple of bites.... this time one of them didn't get away.

I was rudely interrupted from my second happy hour when this stupid fish decided to end its life, i then had to change my evening meal from porc chops to tuna chops

It was at this moment that I realized I should perhaps start doing a little more exercise! What a great day actually, I spent a chunk of it reading about piracy in the present day. I have now got a lot of work to do to forget about all of it and remind myself that people are in general very good, like the Kuna indian that paddled up today in his dugout. He had a few Molas to sell, and also asked for some cold water... I must admit that when he came aboard, no matter that I'd just put my book down, his five foot nothing of stature couldn't raise any suspicion in my mind!
