Lexington - 3/9/17. 9°. 33' south. 104° 30' west



It has been a fine day. My weather prediction for possible rain was in error. The wind has held up nicely. Our pace has held up. The fish have not cooperated well at all. Sam has one line out. I have one line out with two flying fish as bait. I was thinking that natural bait skimming along the surface would attract some attention. I still have a few hours and the best fishing is at sunrise and sunset. I have been shut out for 8 days. We do not adjust our speed for the best trolling speed. We just sail along as fast as we can. The fish will just have to catch up with me. One boat cleaned 36 flying fish carcasses off their deck this morning. You would think something was chasing them. I have spent most of the day studying a course book from Power Squadron on celestial navigation. I am a little compulsive so I am reading the whole book and doing all the exercises. I could easily take a few sights and put the numbers in my computer and be done with it. I would like to do it long hand so I could do it with minimal electronics. I did the course once but need to refresh and try to understand better so it comes more naturally. It just takes time for me to get my head wrapped around it. If I had good sense I would be back home and go to Merrick Inn every night for less money than I am spending now. A fool and his money are easily parted. I will read a little on the islands we are headed for tomorrow for a break. My tag is now” may fair winds fill your sails with wealth and joy” or any other things for the last two blanks. Bob
