20:05.467N 022:10'.788W Sailing in the trade winds is amazing. The winds,
currents and seas are all pushing us along. We were up to 11 knots and
surfing at one point. The seas continue to be very lumpy so moving around below
is becoming an art, especially showering. Early yesterday evening we had a
fantastic dolphin display as dozens of them were racing the boat and chasing
flying fish. It certainly passed several hours away, so much so that our
celebratory glass of champers, for our first milestone, didn’t happen until
dark. This morning, after doing our rigging checks the fishing line is going out
so hopefully it’ll be fish for tea tonight. We’ve had quite a few flying fish
giving up the ghost on our decks but they were too small so we gave them a sea
burial. |
