Position 30 52N 067 42.7W Course 79 degrees 6.0 Kts about 138 miles south and west of Bermuda. Motoring all night. Trying to keep about 5 KTS with sails flapping. Stopped yesterday for bath time. Skinny dipping in super blue clean water 5128 meters deep. Put your face in it and can see the length of the boat easy with no mask. Pilot fish hanging under the boat. Washed up with soap and shampoo and back in for a rinse. As Phil is going back in George dumps lunch scraps... chumming for sharks! Washed off with fresh water after dip. Felt great. Morning now and the sea looks like a mill pond. New prop is working great. Seems really good on fuel and the engine is running a crack over idle at 5 KTS. Can't wait to see what the price of fuel is in Bermuda... could be worth flopping around in no wind for a few days. Settling into life at sea. It always takes me at least the first week of vacation to settle down and then I can really enjoy the next week. Wonder what happens after that... I guess we will see. All for now |
