Pretty funky rainy day yesterday with Sidewinder feeling like she was in a washing machine. Today is a little better with some sun possibilities on the horizon but the seas still mixed up. Maybe the sleigh ride in the tropical sun will come as we get closer to paradise?!
As the freezer warms we are going to be eating as much as we can (actually, Capt David has quite a job ahead of him to eat all the meat we had frozen! He is already so slim and trim, it won't hurt him to bulk up for the sushi fast at the end ) So.....fishing is off limits for now. Wish I had given Jodie my three pounds of shrimp! There is still some ice left inside, so my fingers are crossed that it will be good for a few more days. Fresh food is on its last leg but we have no complaints; we are certainly fat and happy so far.
We worked most of rainy yesterday in the cockpit on our auto helm, which was sounding quite laborious and found that the bolts holding it in place were way loose. The capt. greased Auto, and I got small and replaced bolts that had bottomed out and tightened them all with appropriate nuts through an impossible little hole. PHEW! Guess at least I am good for something in this amazing mechanical yachting world.
Didn't sailmail yesterday cause we had so much to do and were also very tired when we had free moments so we took turns and slept. Our present location is: S 04 33.2 W 108 40.8 So far we have sailed (mostly) 1,076 NMi and have about 1,851 to go. A Cappella and Freedom are almost there. YAHOO! Love to you, S&D
Suzi and David are on their way.
