After another beautiful moonlit night with enough
wind to keep us moving comfortably, dawn brought up to 30 kts of wind and we
have been tramping along at 8 to 9kts. Bruce tells us that this will continue
untill we get to Panama. We are currently about 35 miles offthe coast of
Columbia and we will be happy to stay that far away as there have been numerous
reports of piracy in the area. There were 8 dead flying fish on the deck this
morning.
We have now established a daily routine: breakfast
at 8, then 2 small cans of beer at 12 . Sometimes a bottle of white with
lunch at about 1.30. Last night we had mojitos at 6.00 followed by a poetry
reading by each of us. Last night I did "The Man from Ironbark" Then it is
dinner with a glass of red. Are we having a good time? Yes!
