Until early this morning we were going along nicely
with gentle wind and seas and the sun shining, but things changed early this
morning. First came the rain and then the wind, with the stronger wind the state
of the sea changed as well. The result is a more uncomfortable ride and we get
wet in the cockpit, with either heavy rain or waves popping over the
side.
This has been the situation most of the day, we had
hoped it would be short lived. But we'll see, we are making good progress in the
right direction. We made radio contact with a few boats we met in Galapagos and
who are going in the same direction. It is nice to know there is somebody else
out there even you don't see anybody for days on end.
We caught two juvenile mahi-mahi on Saturday, so we
have had carpaccio and cheviche. When the weather is gentler we will try fishing
again.
Young Mahi-mahi for supper
