Ace - ACE Across the Atlantic

"It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting."

Day 3 aboard ACE: 

From the smiles, It's clear that everyone is full of possibility at this point.  Our third unbelievable day sailing has everyone fighting for their time behind the wheel.  We are regularly sailing at 10+ knots, with surfing rides that easily push the boat to 15, 16, 17, and even 18 knots.  I hit 19 once, and Chris hit 21! All with white sails! Hopefully we will get to the spinnakers soon, though no one is eager to give up these amazing reaching stints.  

A pod of dolphins arrived a few minutes ago just as we were tucking into our citrus/vegetable soup, expertly cooked by galley king, William.  The dolphins stayed for 15 minutes or so, acrobatically jumping from wave to wave bidding us a good journey.  Last night's moon made the night watches a dream, while the full moons departure seemed to help everyone get their Atlantic sleeping rhythm.  Perhaps that might be adding to the intensity of today's smiles as well.  

A few of us had our first showers, even those who didn't shower appreciated the showers of those that did……..

Chris and I were thinking of opening our night club in the forward cabin this evening……….the question is whether we should charge admission?

Sorry Jackson, we have been moving too fast to fish so far,  

And JJ, hug TT for me.  

And hi to lower case T as well.
