Aloha everyone. Although we have some pleasant sailing conditions, it hasn't all been fun! It remains wet and bumpy outside, which has transferred to wet and bumpy inside! The foreward cabin has a number of leaks and will require extensive drying out, plus a leak above the computer, which gives concern. The good news is that we are making good progress. Also, I am quite happy with the new wind generator and solar panels. They are keeping us charged up without having to run engine.
Randy fixed dinner tonight, which means he is feeling better! Fred is doing well, too. So the bottom line is that we are doing well, and it is a great adventure. Some of the things we will see and do, can only be done and enjoyed this way. Getting there on our own adds to the joy of the adventure, but, at the moment, I would rather be sleeping next to my beautiful wife in my own bed!
We have not pit a fish line out yet, as no one wants to deal with a dead fish yet! A few birds, but nothing else but blue sky and wet water(did I mention it was wet out
here!) We are looking forward to getting our easting in so we can turn down to a more comfortable angle of sail. But, after that, it will be the doldrums and then upwind again! Oh well, such is the life of a sailor. Aloha for now, David
