Sailing, Sailing

Another day on the ocean and another day of sailing, albeit slowly. The wind came in around 2:00 am and we managed to get a 24 hour run of 106 miles. Considering the light winds we were pretty happy. The grib files show more wind west of 110 and we are getting there. Once there it looks like a good ride all the way south. Busy day today, put a line out and after a few hours something big hit it and after a short fight, it took the lure and left. A boat about 30 miles behind us caught an 18 lb yellowtail so they are out here. I'll try again tomorrow with stronger line. Showers this morning (that ones for you Keith), Cathy made a try of lemon squares and started a knitting project. I haven't asked yet what she's making or for who but I'm sure I'll find out eventually. Currently reaching along between 4-5 knots in lovely seas with a full moon. The moon rise this evening was absolutely spectacular. The moon rose as a huge orange ball, it was quite a sight.
