All is well. Another beautiful day in paradise…probably the
nicest weather day yet. Sunny, blue skies, following cobalt blue seas, and
getting noticably warmer…quite pleasant. We had a nice run yesterday, not as
many miles as earlier days, but still above our dailly goal 150 miles per day.
Winds got lite last night making it a bit uncomfortable…when the wind is gone
and the ocean swell remains things just tend to rock and roll with little
forward progress. However, it's back up today around 15kts from ENE. We flew
the spinnaker for a while today which gave us a nice little push. Two boats are
still in site. We continue to change positions with a Hanse 505 which has been
near us since the start. After the first two days we were 6 miles ahead of her.
Two days ago she was 13 miles ahead of us. At dawn this morning she was only 3
miles ahead. We both put up spinnakers and we slid past her. At present she is
two miles behind us. This keeps it interesting.
I've finished my first book of the trip "Killing
Patton" by Bill Oreilly, now starting the second one which I haven't
chosen yet.
All is well onboard. No new fish catches to report.
Dinner last night was pan seared cod fillets with roasted
fresh carrots and potatoes…very nice!
1685 miles to go…we are zeroing in on the half way mark.
Until tomorrow,
vcp
