WELL, today I can actually see some blue sky! Seas are still lumpy but we only have 994 miles to go. Today is Sunday and in the old days when the kids were young we made a point of having family dinner with my sister, her family, and my parents as often as we could. So today we will have an old fashioned family dinner with the three of us. The choco bars are in the oven and I will make a roast chicken with stuffing and all the fixings. We are about ready for a bit of comfort food with all this drab weather. Not that we don't eat well here. We have done very well in that dept.
With a little sun we could even manage to dry a few thing out. Everything is damp and my toes are actually shriveling up! No towels have dried in the last week. All our clothes are just a bit damp. How we appreciate the Pacific now! Don't remember this many days of dampness while we were in the Pacific.
We have not seen any boats since we spied Drammer off our port two days ago. We know there must be Tucanon out here but so far no sign of them yet. They left a day ahead of us so they may be ahead. This is a darn big ocean so we may not see them till Mauritius.
Hope I am not complaining too much. The weather is looking a bit brighter. Iwas reminded of the Beatles song "Here Comes the Sun". We are sailing along with only the staysail and the jib reefed. We are still sailing at 6-11kts.
