Mad Fish - What a difference a day makes.



We ran our engine for hot water yesterday. While it was on we ran the heating too! Good showers were had all round and we felt much better. Last night saw squalls then the wind shut down. We did 4 engine hours as we were stopped. Dawn saw a fickle breeze from the SW so kite up and I have just finished 4 hours of light air trimming and need a rest. On the plus side the sun is out and it is warmer. Can see showers around and clouds approaching from the low thats coming to swallow us and shove us east.

Its been nice to have someone new on the boat for this leg and having an operational autopilot! 3 hours on and 6 off makes for easy passage making. Sean is learning lots of offshore sailing stuff as well as some places to go see in the Caribbean and we are learning lots about Canada. He is currently learning to trim the spinnaker in the light airs we are sailing in.

Had pancakes for breakfast which made for happy kids. Looking forward to a shave, a beer, and a normal nights sleep when we get in.

960 miles to go.
