Position 14.07N 70.04W
Early this morning I overheard a faint and distant
conversation between an aircraft and a surface vessel. Speaking to John Hunt
later in the morning he told us that he is operating under coast guard direction
in a search for a missing, non ARC yacht. I will send more info on that when we
hear anything. He is currently about 50 miles ahead of us.
Sailing conditions during the night were varied
with some rain, a frustrating period of calm which we motored through, then
beautiful moonlight with an 18kt breeze and smooth sea - glorious sailing
conditions!
Tony's tuna was, and still is delicious. Last night
we had sashimi followed by tuna steak pan fried in Olive oil with garlic and
oregano...the Terry Moran way. For lunch today it will be poisson cru, and we
still have enough tuna left for two more meals.
Bruce's forecasts are suggesting we should have
good sailing conditions all the way to Panama.
