Well we all ate our fill of fresh fish yesterday and no one got sick... that
is a good thing. We have been having a few issues with sail stuff breaking.
One of the cars that fits up the full batten on the main lost a pin. Can't
find the pin and have not been able to make do. I reported the other day
that the Gennicar blew out. Closer inspection showed the ATN sock chaffed
the top of the sail right off. No fixing that out here. real light wind
today so we put up the real spinnaker with one clue to the ATN cuff around
the rolled up Genoa. Hard to imagine but it is supposed to act like an
asymmetrical that way.

We are almost to our closest point to the Cape Verde islands. Nothing is
broken bad enough to be a deal buster yet so we will likely keep going. All
is well.
