Progress has slowed considerably. I am now motoring when the wind drops below 7 knots. Every few hours there is a rain squall which washes the boat and gives me a shower. The water temperature is 83 and the air in the cabin is 86. The relative humidity is 79% - very muggy! My noon-to-noon distance for today is 109 mi. at an average speed of 4.5 kts. There is not much to see here in the doldrums, no birds, and no flying fish. I'll be glad when I get through this.
