Yesterday was mixed. We had wind in the morning, and had to run under engine in a calm afternoon. Chris caught a Mahimahi in the morning while sailing. We decided to give the engine a rest and grilled the Mahimahi in the calm. It was excellent! I don’t think we can use the grill underway, but it did make up for the calm seas.
As it got darker, the wind came up and we were able to sail all night. This morning it looks to be another calm hot day. We appear to be in the Pacific High, not where we want to be, but where we are. It’s hard to order up new weather.
The birds have left us. For a while we had three on the bow pulpit. They were all pointing into the wind. I suspect we have moved out of their normal area. But only they know….
All are well. Lots of food and water. Unless the weather changes, this is looking to be a long trip. Hopefully, things will pick up a time passes.
