Hi everyone, The wind picked up a bit to around 17-20 kts yesterday evening and is in the low 20's today. We furled Big Blue and are running under the genoa alone and still managing better than 5 kts of boat speed.
Today looks like all the classic pictures of trade wind sailing.
During our first two nights, the cabin temp dropped to 66 Degrees F. Last night it only dropped to 68 so we are making some progress towards melting that butter.
The forward cabin has become off limits for sleeping until the wind and seas calm down again.
We have the first signs of seasickness on board today but minimal so far. Finn is fine of-course and I had to scold him for running laps down below.
No fish yesterday and have decided not to fish today because it would be too difficult to land one in the sea conditions.
Anna was the first one up this morning and she ran on deck to observe the sunrise. She is really getting into all the action in the sky.
Have a great day,
Bob, Kim, Anna, Finn and Mark

| Ted Note: Notice that based on their position this morning they were passing by what appears to be a volcanic mountain. The water is about 3,000 ft. deep at the peak and 14,000 ft. off the base. I'll let you do the math. It's approx 15 miles wide, and what looks like the crater on top is 3 miles long X 1.25 miles wide. Pretty amazing. |
