Slow but steady sailing in light winds which are sufficiently variable to
require several sail changes a day. Cruising chute up, down, pole out,
genoa out to port, in, out to port, in, main up fully, reefed, back up.
Still we are keeping busy. The best thing about quiet winds is much
flatter seas which is fabulous. The weather has been great so far to, some
cloud and squalls around us at night but none have come to anything. We
have a full moon pretty much all night at the moment which is just fabulous.

We are fishing and yesterday morning caught a huge and magnificient Mahi
Mahi. We know this because of the thump when it took the lure and because
we then watched it make four huge and magnificent leaps out of the water
whereupon the line went slack and it made off with our lure and several
hearty meals worth of fish. So fish caught 1, fish landed 0. We will keep
trying.

We are on passage with Adina, Moana Roa and Dancing Bear with several others
about to join us so we speak twice a day and keep tabs on each other.

All well.
