was able to set a new world's record for Mahi caught on a homemade fishing
rig off of a sailing vessel. I think we have enough taco shells left and
half a cabbage for fish tacos this afternoon.
The wind has dropped to about 10 kts... not enough to go down wind and we
are having to continue to tack across our intended course line. We are
running low on fresh water and may make an unscheduled stop in Antigua to
fill up if we don't go by there at 3 AM or something. If we do stop it will
be a real quickie.
The battery voltage is creeping back up as I am running the Gen set twice as
long as before. It is getting pretty toasty out here... we are all in
shorts and tee's and Matt has rigged a really elaborate sun shade over the
cockpit with the main's sail cover. All for now.
