We are still taking it steady. The mast is making less creaking noises and at a lower speed, life on board is a little more comfortable.
Sleep is easier (although not easy!). There is no doubt that the boat could go much quicker if we wanted a less safe, higher damage and lower comfort life.
We are on track to arrive on Thursday or Friday so we have 1 more week at sea.
Yesterday evening I caught another Mahi Mahi / Dorado. Smaller than the first one, but still a decent size.
We will gybe in the morning and hopefully be able to make St Lucia on the next angle.
Lots of waves, lots of stars, lots of sea!
My abstinence from Alcohol has gone well so far - 11 days (not that I'm counting...)
