Day 7

214 miles yesterday, our record. That's with two reefs in the main at night to slow it down (less noise) for sleeping. We have had a booby living on our solar panels now for two days. He fly's around the boat every hour or so to try and catch the flying fish that the boat scares out of the water. I have not seen him catch one yet but he must be catching plenty as evidenced by what exits his rear all over the boat. I think he will wear out his welcome soon just as the sea lions did in the Galapagos. 1932 miles to go! Nous avons parcouru un record de 214 miles les dernieres 24 heures, ces vents sont si reguliers, cela ne m'etonnent pas qu'ils sont tant apprecies! Depuis deux jours un oiseau s'est invite a bord , il a etablit son pied a "terre" si j'ose dire juste sur nos panneaux solaires, Il se repose, va a la peche aux poissons volants 4 a 5 fois par jours et reviens se reposer, mais...... il depose aussi sur nos precieux panneaux d'energie ses excrements qui commencent a bien sentir, si seulement on pouvait lui apprendre a aller aux toilettes sur l'eau! 7eme jour, 1932 miles a parcourir,....patience, patience....
