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
