Lexington - Captain Bob: 3/3/17 sunset



We have had a nice day but motoring in calm winds.

At the end of the day Mark and I went for a swim. The water was very nice. My guess is that it was about 82 degrees. We had the boat hove to but not well it still had a little movement. "Hove to" means the sails in a configuration that each sail is supposed to cancel out each other and stop the boat. Mark and I did not swim far from the swim ladder. I soaped up real good to clean up some. With the watermaker we are not too hard up for a very brief shower. I just wanted to say I had swam in the Pacific Ocean with no land in site. I did put my goggles on to look for any big fish showing their teeth. All I saw was a few jelly fish. On the roll call there were two or three other boats that went for a swim. For us Sam and Ann stayed on board so we did not have to worry about the boat sailing away from us. One boat had only two people so they probably payed a line out or went one at a time. There is a story of someone forgetting to put the swim ladder down and the boat sailing away with their baby on board. That might be a urban legend.
