Day 10, December 4, 2014

Position  18 55.2N   43 33.9W

Distance to Go:  1041 miles

All is well. Enjoying nice weather and sunshine after a less than pleasant night last night. Rain squall after rain squall and irradic winds made for a long wet night. Winds veered from south to northeast in short time spans. Velocity was also up and down, requiring constant sail adjustment, amidst the pelting rain…not so nice. However, that's over for now and we're drying everything out from the interior of the boat to clothing. Sailing along at good speed now down wind ofcourse. We expect to pass the 1000 mile mark this evening…very exciting.

Caught another fish earlier today….A Wahoo this time (70cm). Very pretty creature…resembles a mackeral with its zebra skin pattern but much larger. It is already filleted and in the freezer for a future dinner.

Last night's dinner was Baked Mahi-Mahi with a garlic butter sauce (prepared by Rui) and pasta marinara, followed by a chocolate cake baked by Brad…very nice.

Two boats in sight today.

Until tomorrow
