Aloha everyone, y midnight watch started with a squall. Seems like my brother, the least experienced open ocean sailor gets all the wind during his night watches. he has seen up 28kt. We are getting to the ITCZ, with light rain this morning and overcast all day, which was a relief from the sun. We caught another fish today a nice aku. Randy tried his lure first, but it was mine that won the day. However, complete kudos go to R who cleaned it and turned it into delicious fish tacos. he followed that with desert of apples dipped into a marshmello dip with cream cheese and cinnamin. We enjoyed a double rainbow and nice sunset also. R and I had a bit of a scare after dinner. We heard the wind generator race and then groan and then we smelled an electrical problem and we thought that we just fried it. Turns out a 110 socket, in a poorly thought out location, fried when the boat healed. Not a big problem. Well, the wind is going funky so I need to get back on deck. Next day should be busy with squalls and motoring in between. We are making progress. It will be one week this afternoon! Aloha, David
