Thursday March 13th 1:24pm local time. Ran the engine all night but wind picked up this morning so have been sailing today at 7 knots with 9-11 knots of wind. Two fish on the line but not to the boat. Passed through the ITCZ last night, it was very fast as we are heading S.W. and it was moving fast to the north. Lets hope it does not move just as fast back down to the south over us! Only did 158 miles this past 24 hours, with out the wind our speed goes down as we motor at low speed to save fuel. Notre 4eme jour de voyage et tout se passe tres bien! Il semble que nous avons passe la fameuse zone ITCZ (Inter Tropical Convergence Zone) qui est prone aux eclairs et sans vent, mais hier au soir nous avons vu quelques gros orages heureusement lointains (vu au radar), nous avons maintenant une brise agreable et un petit courant avec nous, le ciel est bleu, une splendide journee s'annonce, nous avons parcouru 538 miles sur les 900 a faire!!! A bientot.
