Day 10

Hi there!  Location this morning is: S 5 12.5 min and W 111 35.6 min. We have approx. 1,649 NMi left to go. YAHOO!  Yesterday afternoon was a wonderful relaxing time to pull off all the wet, clammy clothes and take freshwater showers with sun basking to follow. Squalls again came along and doused us big-time early in the evening, but by midnight the seas were pretty calm, and Sidewinder slithered along in sleigh-ride style with waning moon and stars above us. Our watches were delightful, enhanced again by iPod tunes delighting our individual souls.

Morning brought puffy clouds, lumpy seas, 10- 14 kt winds, and warm sunshine, making my daily morning meditation on the cabin-top more special. Clouds are again upon us as we fully realize just how much we need to pay attention to every moment because it changes continually. Ah, the sun just appeared again! We are fascinated by the ongoing races between the flying fish; always leaving together, it seems each one strives to make it as far as they can, and believe me, many of them are incredible in speed and distance, banking off of waves and diving at the last possible minute. We must admit, we are entertained easily these days.   Love you, Suzi and David
