Well, the southeast trade winds must have
heard our call yesterday because they showed up, but only in a half-hearted
way. Maybe they're embarrassed that they were so late
and decided to sneak up on us without officially announcing their
arrival. Regardless, we are sailing. Slowly. And mostly in the
right direction. This four day trip is going to turn into a six day
trip. Such is the life of sailors. Of course we love it when we
arrive at a destination earlier than planned, but arriving later than planned is
usually no fun at all. On top of that, still no fish! Well that's
not completely true, Don did catch a small tuna the other day, but threw it
back. He is still waiting for his chance to get back at all those
pacific mahi-mahi that thumbed their noses at us by triple back-flipping
off our fishing hook back when we were sailing down the coast of
Panama.
More tomorrow.
