Happy Christmas Eve - Tales from our Atlantic crossing.....



We have 1750 miles to go and every day we wake up to a beautiful sunny day. Nothing is on the horizon, the crew is happy, the boat is
performing well and life is good, verrrry good. Okay, sure we could do
with some more wind, but who couldn't.

Mid afternoon, Felix, as he has now been christened flies onto our
spreader and then makes himself at home on our forward deck. Felix is a white crane about a foot tall and appears to be a land based bird who just flew too far. He has been with us all day and moves about the deck as we move forward or aft.

Then, as Ziggy was settling back to her card tournament with brother
Bruce and sister in law Marlene, she spots a dolphin fin. Ooops I take
that back, she spotted the fluke of a pilot whale. WHALE SIGHTING!!!!
This is my number one dream of the trip.

Not two hours later, just as Bruce resets the hooks on our port fishing rod and moments after John reset a hand line, we spy two Wahoo jumping through the water aiming directly for John's hook. BAAAM, we nail a 3+ ft Wahoo about 12 pounds.

Now, as we sit down for dinner, we are dining on the freshest sushi, and enjoying Wahoo in ginger and lime or breaded.

Life does not get any better. We have just passed Wine O'clock and
within the hour, we will be enjoying Lindt O'clock.

We are a little over a third of the way, and loving every minute of it.
All our best, Team Windancer and Ed the Iquana and Felix the Crane.
