Day 11

Short message today as we are low in energy and praying for sunshine to poke its way out of the clouds long enough to generate some solar power. We will send out this afternoon. So far the winds are holding and the seas are still allowing us to move toward our destination with relative ease, although the waves are still enjoying the nudging, washing machine action which could get annoying if you wanted to go there. We are both steering much of the time, since it is difficult for the auto pilot and the monitor wind vane to get a sense of balance from Sidewinder. (She is definitely earning her name and it isn't her fault!) When the sun shines, it lights up the world of vast blue ocean and gives us a chance to soak up the Vit D and take a deep breath. Watching the shiney silver and blue flying fish get air off of waves is such a trip. Life is good for now as we eat our way toward the Marquesas. :) Love you
