Some giant patches of phospherants in the darkness and out in the open water beyond our surf.

Monday May 5^th.

By daylight the sea was strong, course about 220, should have been 180 but not worth the fight on those waves so we took the easy route down the roller coaster. Sort of running for 29 to 30 W for the equator, would love some 28ish but not so hopefull in this wind.

Toilet tea and just sitting down all hard work. Horizon often lost as the big swells towered up above us but the gauge was bagging nines and were moving along some. Water again so clear the top of these blue monsters turned sparkling aqua for a glass block view of the world. Fishing, wicked, must have been a monster because the big lure was broken in two. Even hard work to post our 12 utc position, the keyboard is moving on the Velcro 14.49.29N 25.56.17W
