Very little wind, about 5-6 knots.  We covered 37 miles in 10 hours.  Very relaxing and gentle; clear skies with stars, planets and shooting stars; but very slow.
 
We found 3 flying fish on the deck:

There has been depressingly little marine life: a few flying fish, one dolphin visitation, a gannet and a few gulls.
 
Al went up the mast to inspect the halliards:

So we plod on at 5-6 knots going just north of west and waiting for the wind.
We are at 20 degrees 16.19 N, 23 degrees 46.25 W
