Not as bad as several days ago since now the winds is only about 16-18 kt but still not a very comfortable course. We have not enjoyed yet the nice Mahi Mahi of yesterday. Perhaps a late lunch today of Mahi Mahi if conditions improves a bit for cooking. Otherwise it will have to wait until our landfall late tomorrow.  This morning squall in the distance with a touch of rainbow.  Last night romantic sunset from Blue Note |
