Light winds are the bane of our existance currently. We have carried the A sail for the last 36 hours as R resists starting the engine which many have. However the c's are winning the battle over auto vs hand steering. This changed @ 0500 when the drive pin sheared. There seems to be at least one daily repair to accomplish, which helps keep us busy. The c's have grumbled about lack of reading time. Our captain prepared a fine polenta meal and R was pleased to see a couple more wine bottles(no boxes here) go overboard. Today the slow boat speed proved ideal trolling, and we will be consuming a nice Mahi-Mahi for dinner. Cudows to our Fakawhi captain.
