20:05.467N 022:10'.788W Sailing in the trade winds is amazing. The winds, currents  and seas are all pushing us along. We were up to 11 knots and surfing at one point. The seas continue to be very lumpy so moving around below is becoming an art, especially showering. Early yesterday evening we had a fantastic dolphin display as dozens of them were racing the boat and chasing flying fish. It certainly passed several hours away, so much so that our celebratory glass of champers, for our first milestone, didn’t happen until dark. This morning, after doing our rigging checks the fishing line is going out so hopefully it’ll be fish for tea tonight. We’ve had quite a few flying fish giving up the ghost on our decks but they were too small so we gave them a sea burial.
