Another beautiful day on the Pacific. Light breeze enough to fill the sails and keep the crew cool and comfortable. Awoke to the smell of home fries cooking and we all breakfasted in the pilothouse thanks to Wade's cheesy eggs, home fries and fried meatlike product which shall remain nameless. Our breakfast was interrupted by a strike of a small but brilliant Mahi which we sent back to the deep blue sea. Still lacking a wahoo, we had a swimming plug out to target those fish. However, within a short while a strike on the double hooked plug didn't act like a wahoo or anything else for that matter. We were all surprised to see a pair of large Mahi hooked on the same plug on different hooks. One we released and the other ended up in the freezer. Stopped fishing for a while as we are running out of space and we are needing a break from filleting. (I know, poor us)

The 4:44 refers to Zulu time or UTC. We have been on this clock for the entire trip so as we go further East, our watches change relative to the time of day. Yesterday, 04:44 was sunset and 15:42 was sunrise! Being on this time schedule makes things less confusing in the long run and it makes celestial navigation a bit less complicated. One has to rely on internal cues, however, to know when you're hungry, tired etc!

Sails remain up and helpful. Today we are headed almost due North with the wind coming from the East. Presently we are averaging over 7 kts with sails and the engine using only 1.5 gph. Although we thought windless conditions would be just fine for our trip, I know we will all miss the feeling of being under sail and the economy it affords.

Wade has stepped up his cribbage game and is unbeatable at the moment. Yesterday he twisted our arms to play a 4 handed game of Hearts. Pretty fun except some of these guys are sharpies. Care for a small wager???
