Hello
Had a great day sailing yesterday with the spinnaker up until tea time, sun
was shining and it was very hot.
The wind died down in the evening so we ended up dropping the main and going
under engine only for the night. We saw two commercial vessels as the sun
set last night which were the first two we have seen since the azores. The
night was very quiet with no wind, the water looked like a oily pond. It was
a clear night with hundreds of stars out and stayed clear until sunrise.
Today is hot and sunny and quite windy, should be anouther great days
sailing.
