Yes siree it's a hot one today.
 
The little wind of yesterday died late afternoon and we just wallowed around out here so it was decided to motor up and use the last of the diesel to get us into port this side of Christmas.
 
We only have 75 more miles to go to Flores yipee!And should make landfall early tomorrow.
 
It's the hottest day on board this trip and I think that has to do with the lack of any air around..
 
Melvin noticed a strange noise coming from the engine compartment this morning and on further investigating noticed that one of the belts was delaminating OH NO! was the cry. It wasn't to bad a problem as we had a spare on-boarde in were back underway inside an hour.
 
I'm looking forward to tomorrow feet on something solid, what a treat. May even get to do a little running.stress little.
