Celebrate - Log Day 5 - All Well (Finally!)



Celebrate is having a happy reach after turning the corner off Columbia during the night. Winds have been consistent from the east around 20kts, and seas have been in the 2-3 meter range, except for the big one this morning that spilled the crews' coffee! Finishing the last of the wonderful fresh papaya and pineapple we bought in St. Lucia, and had a great jambalya for dinner yesterday.

Our best news is that our first mate Cathy is finally up and around, after suffering from tummy troubles since our departure from St. Lucia. Charlie and Andy are grateful for the extra watch keeper, leaving a little time to complete our log entries and communicate with family and friends via SSB. As we approach Panama, we are seeing a lot more large ships, thankfully very evident on radar and AIS.

Sailing in company is a lot of fun - 30-35 boats check in every morning and evening with position reports and status of of boat and crew. Boats are getting pretty spread out, but we can generally hear most of them on the SSB during the nets. What a great group!
