Woohoo its finally starting to feel tropical! This morning it is warm enough to wear just shorts and a t-shirt in the cockpit and no shoes. Finally!
Last night for about an hour we had some great wind – 18 to 20 knots on the beam – I sailed blissfully along from about 0100 until 0200 making good speed on a close reach. Then the wind dies back to what it still is now, about 6-8 knots from the SE direction. Enough to tease us that we might sail, but when we cut the engine and try to sail is a lot slower than we’d hope to move. We hope it will fill in over the next twenty four hours, or at least the forecast gives us hope it will.
Other than the warmth and lovely sunny weather there isn’t too much difference. We’re fishing now in hope of catching a Mahi-mahi or a tuna, and Danielle is baking cookies.
We’re starting to get into the rhythm of passage life.
