Slipping along in the mid Atlantic, still waiting for the trades to fill in. When we adjust off the rum line to follow a new weather report, invariably the place we left has more wind the next day. The c's desire a pause to take in a quick swim as the water is very warm, but R resists, and is even reluctant to fish as we are finishing the last one for stew today. Its hard to haul in a wopper when you are doing 6 knots. Washing dishes is vied for as it breaks the tedium. Brightwork and lifelines are polished and sparkling now. Hope we don't run out of diesel for the generator. Still have enough food for the next 6 months.
