Butterfly Sighting
It was just Unbelievable to see a flutter by so far from land, or perhaps it was just in a cocoon in the boat somewhere until today and emerged. The flying fish have also been pretty active though, thankfully, none landing on the boat today. Even if they do land in the boat they don't all get thrown back. Tonny used one on a lure. Today we caught 3 small fish, none for keeping. The crafty tuna keep eluding us.


Dinner was a fantastic, spicy curry with chicken and sweet potato made by chef Chris and sous chef Tonny. All this followed by a stunning sunset due west in front of our bow.


Overnight we had some abrupt big wind, handled readily by the fearless crew, and after and throughout the day nice steady breezes bringing us closer to St. Lucia. As I write this we are just 184 miles from destination, and we are all getting pretty excited about our arrival. Each one of us has a bucket list of what we wish to do first. We are hoping for an evening time arrival.
