Adagio - #9: 12/03-12/04 2018: (Monday/Tuesday)





Notes:

Mike's doing noon-sights and coming up pretty close! Some clouds prevented a good sight today, but by golly I think he's got it!

Being a flying fish must be a terrible life .. I mean, maybe the 'schools' have 'bully fish' or perhaps their social media scenario is too mean .. regardless, several flying fish have chosen to end it all and commit suicide by boat on our decks. One was so desparate that he got all the way into the cockpit seating. .. What are they trying to tell us???

The Watermaker motor repair is holing fine and we are making good water.

The wind is still fluky and the seas are still rolly .. with mixed swell and multi-directional waves. Did I mention that this resembles the Chesapeake?

I adjusted the ship's clocks one hour back .. messed everybody up (evil grin, diabolical laughter!)

Tuesday evening we celebrated the "somewhere around half-way point" with a special dinner and some fantastic chocolate mousse. Fired up the stereo for dinner music .. (and have to fix that starboard speaker...) and had a great evening of fellowship talking about the crossing, the plans for St. Lucia and beyond.

Started the declaration and entry paperwork.

We came to the conclusion that since the lead boats were already nearly two days ahead of us we were going to relax into this journey and not sweat the small stuff like .. oh, you know, speed. Just taking it easy and looking for more dolphins and the green flash again.

"Blue in the Loo" is an all new terminology for "Did you remember to flush the holding tank and add treatment fluid?" .. It just works for us :)
