Thanksgiving Day
Pat prepared a wonderful dinner with turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, stuffing, gravy and cranberries. Greatly appreciated by all onboard. Amazing what can be done with pre-planning.
Last 24 hours were slow and rolly but we made progress. We set up our spinnaker pole to hold out the genoa in the light winds and it helped a lot. Today the skies are clear and the winds are coming almost completely from the east but not strong as forecasted. But now we are making good progress west and should get into better trade winds in a few days.
We also had our first large school of dolphins, several with young ones alongside Mom.
About 2,300 miles to go.
Kind regards
