Purrr-fect - Day 5 - Still no wind -swimming stop



It is hard to believe that any ocean can be this calm. Water has been like glass at times, tempting the guys on board to stop mid-ocean again and take a second swim. The indigo color can't be described. The moon rise last night was a huge orange moon, providing wonderful nighttime brilliance. Despite all the beauty, we are frustrated to be motor sailing because of the lack of wind. Yesterday Dave, Jim and Paul transferred our large spare diesel tanks to the main engine tanks so we can keep motoring. That task took most of the afternoon. Life on board is a continual saga of challenges to be overcome and persistence toward the goal. This morning we enjoyed a full bacon and egg breakfast, complete with home made fresh bread made by Jim yesterday evening. We are now over half way to Bermuda....and still hope for wind soon.
