All is well. As forecasted the wind has backed to the NE and
we are sailing along comfortably and quickly in 18 -21 kts of wind. The skies
are overcast so not to much sun today. Thus far a very easy and relaxing day.
We ran into large schools of flying fish earlier today. While we have seen them
before, never, in this abundance. Quite beautiful silvery-blue creatures
zipping along from wave crest to wave crest. Some were not so lucky as they ran
into the boat while zipping along. Some were rescued…others we found hours
later dried up on deck.
We have a mustache growing contest onboard. Ryan is in the
lead but he did have a several day headstart. I suspect Rui and I will make a
run for this coveted title during the next week and a half. Brad's
mustache….we'll, let's just say that it's struggling to get noticed.
Dinner last night was Lasagna; garlic bread; and fresh grape
tomato and cucumber salad with balsamic dressing…very nice. If the weather
stays cooperative we may try some pan seared cod filets tonight!
Until tomorrow
