The weather has been fine. Not great, but not rough. Too hot from noon until the Sun goes down. We went back to motorsailing yesterday evening, and are on the verge of launching the asymmetrical spinnaker to get back to just sailing again. The issue, we see a new low thirty miles in front of us with winds over 20 knots. We are now in true winds in the high teens. Maybe a bit too fresh for the spinnaker. For sure too fresh if the wind strengthens? We are not tentative sailors. We just don't court excitement over comfort and safety.
As for marine life, John found a flying fish in the galley this morning! How do those things get so high off the water? And how do they rifle through one of the few possible small openings? In early morning watch stupor, Barry thought the thing was just a fishing lure John was showing him. We hear they are good to eat, but nobody wanted to test the rumor.
If we failed to mention the pilot whales, we came upon a pod of them yesterday or the day before.
We are over half way to Bermuda. It looks good for a Saturday evening arrival, but that could change in a minute.
