Not much different.  Making 7+ knots with the engine.  Mainsail out but not much help.  Just routine, sweating, no fish.  However we have great meals  Pat prepared all these great thing with very detailed instructions on how to defrost them (we kept 7 days of dinners in the freezer plus plenty of MREs in case).  Tim and Gary were very diligent in following directions so grilled lamb chops, meatloaf, pasta and gravy, etc. were well received.

We also learned that with the strong seas (8 foot seas) it was wise to not sit on the port side of the boat as a quick shower was ready to descend from the bow spray.

There was some sailing winds and we took them to heart and did our best.  Love to turn off the engine and sail in silence.  We are now trying to guess the best path to St Thomas.  Heading too far south will only give us grief if we need to head due east later right into the trade winds that are beginning to form.

149 miles in 24 hours and no fish.
