Day 11, December 5, 2014

Position   18 11.7N     45 59.3W

Distance to go:   897 miles

All is well. Another nice day. Sunny and clear. The rain squalls have ceased at least for now. Wind is a bit lighter from the SE today. At present the spinnaker is up and we're moving along at 7+ knots…quite nice. Starting to see some sargasso weed floating which is typical of this area…also a bird or two where they have up until now been non-existant. Very pleasnt night last night running down wind in 13 -16 kts of wind with a near full moon. The deck was fully illuminated…no flashlights needed. All is well on board, no problems to report.

Another fish onboard about an hour ago. A Mahi-Mahi measuring one meter (the big one). Presently being filleted and into the freezer it goes.

Dinner last night was pan seared pork loin with a red wine and balsamic vinegar sauce accompanied with roasted potatoes and carrots with fresh melon for desert…very nice.

One boat in sight today.

Until tomorrow
