QUESTION: When a bird and a fish fall in love,
where do they live? ANSWER: Nobody knows but I have just seen proof
of their union. I thought I saw a bird flying by the boat and then I
realized it was not a bird but a flying fish. Definitely in strange waters
now. We are making good time but have had to supplement our sailing with
some use of the "iron sail". The wind is nice and steady during the day
but seems to die at the same time each night. The 1.5 knots and constant
slamming of the sails flogging all night became more than annoying, more
like a Guantanamo Bay torture session. We are sailing alone now, just the
two of us and running 4 hour wheel watches. We both tend to be up when
it's light out and actually get plenty of rest if you remember to take a
nap during the day, otherwise there is some head nodding on night
watch. Have not seen any whales but are frequently visited by
dolphins, If I see any of them fly I will definitely let you know.
See ya,
AP
