Day 13, December 7, 2014

Position   16 16.6N     51 43.6W

Distance to go:  550 miles

All is well. Nice run over the las 24 hours, we covered 184 miles. The wind remains with us at about 15kts from the SE. It has been cloudy with frequent showers. Thunder and lightening is around but off to our north.
So…we continue to make good progress towards St Lucia. Arrival day still looks like Wednesday/Thursday, although recent progress has made Wednesday a bit more possible. Today is week two of the mustache contest so it is a mandatory shave day. I would say Ryan still holds a slim lead with Rui in second, I a close third, and Brad a distant fourth.

Caught another Mahi - Mahi this morning (80cm).

High-lite of the day was a visit from two Mink Whales approximately 15 feet in length, greenish/gray in color. They surfaced behind us and then played in our bow wake for five minutes or so. They spouted and exposed their dorsal fins several times and rolled to show us the white of their bellies. Its as if they know they are entertaining us…magnificant!

Dinner last night was spaghetti and meatballs with marinara sauce…very nice

Until tomorrow
