We're smokin!

Barely smokin! Movin along at 3.4 knots with a 6-8 knot breeze at our back. Seas are very calm with a long swell about every 15 seconds - very peaceful and relaxing! We launched the symetrical spinnaker this morning - see attached photo. John improvised a system so that we have it rigged from each bow to keep it centered on the front of Orcinius. It is working great for this light wind. We also have a large (500 ft) tanker off our starboard side for about 5 miles heading due east right now, so we are not alone out here. We have not tried to contact him on the radio though. His callsign is Partawati heading for Mejillones - where ever that may be. Other big news - we caught a fish last night! First one in a long time! He was a pretty small durado, but went well with our shrimp for dinner last night. And our large freezer finally went kaputz yesterday. So we have tried to save some steaks and chicken in our little upper freezer that is part of our refridgerator. What will be for dinner tonight? - about 3 pounds of shrimp that we couldn't fit in the small freezer! Also, most of our fresh goods are now gone - either eaten or gone bad. Down to some tomatoes, onions, and potatoes. Also have some apples, limes, and a head of cabbage. Interesting combination of goodies eh? Looks like we will be breaking into the spam here before too long! That's the latest and greatest for now - smooth sailing everyone!
