7pm Last night was uneventful with just one squall carrying no additional wind. The first rinse Ovive has had since departing Florida. It was nice to walk on the decks this morning without the salt buildup. This morning was back to the screecher, sailed slow until 11:30am then motor sailed until 12:30pm then dropped the screecher and sailed slow with the kite for a while. Around 1:30pm the wind steadily increased to 20 knots. We were hitting 11 knots in calm seas. Then at 6pm down with the kite and out goes the genoa. Oh, and another Mahi Mahi this morning. So you see we are not always just watching the water pass by. All is well with only 285 miles to go.
