Crazy Horse - 11-06-14



Well, another day and yet totally different than the motoring one spent so much the previous night. Remember how I said I'd either complain about the wind as far as too much or wrong direction? Well- right on both counts. The wind built yesterday afternoon and we had a great sailing delight .But as it kept on building and building after dinner not much sleep was going on -in this boat, at least. By the time my watch came on at 4am the seas were building to 10-15ft. Winds were up to 35kts. Bow was slamming into the sea. Quite the little show of power. But after the storms at noon today things have settled down again a little.

Our boat speed has been a continuous 8to 10 kts so we have been moving along. I think even the sailfish havent had time to drop in. Oh yes, that is a little fish no one needs practice catching. Sometimes they have been know to fly aboard and smack Bill right in the face. We had friends who couldn't figure out what the awful smell that was- turns out it was a flying fish who arrived down below through an open hatch. What about having one of them on your pillow?

Yesterday , Bill and I did see a slow moving whale of some kind. First we thought dolphin but no fin. So he just lumbered along and said hello and was gone.

The boat looks a little chaotic right now but none the worse for wear. A little cleaning is in order. What to have for dinner? And you thought it was boring on a boat for many days. A little boring would be good about right now.
