17th Wedding Anniversary yesterday (4th, this a bit late!). We were going to have a glass of wine to celebrate, but the lumpy sea state persuaded us not to. Spent the afternoon watching flying fish.
Today (yesterday!) is the first day we have been able to sail on course towards the Caribbean. Until then we were heading more south to pick up the trade winds proper. Had to gybe to get on course - our second sail change in 1100 miles. Trade winds have picked up now.
