Motor/sailed all night. The birthday boy requested French Toast for breakfast, so that was easy to do despite the rocking of the boat. We finally got some favorable wind around 11 am. Unfurled the jib and we were sailing. Mark was still on his 2nd sleep and the extra speed across the lumpy seas woke him up early. Mark was able to work on the diesel fuel leak during the bulk of his two night shifts. He tried to fix the old fuel filter assembly but the threads on one of the bleeder screws was stripped. He finally replaced the entire assembly with the spare that we purchased in Hawaii. That resulted in two leaks which were eventually resolved by cleaning and tightening. We are leak free at the moment. We sailed the rest of the day. The wind kept shifting so we tacked a few times. During one of the tacks, the jib sheet caught in the mast wench. I went up to release the line and it pulled with great force catching my right pinky finger. Ouch! I thought it was broken, but just ripped off some skin. Mark got me an ice cube and I was able to keep it from bleeding. It is bruised and sore. Had popcorn and the Star Wars movie, Phantom Menace, to keep us entertained this afternoon. The sun has set. The stars are visible tonight. We had rain all around us for most of the day, but we did not see a drop. I guess we sailed away from the rain bands, or we got lucky. 253 nautical miles to the equator. We did not make much speed when we motored. And when sailing, we got pulled north of east or west of south, away from where we are heading. Currently we are sailing dead south with lighter winds and speed of only 3-4 knots. At least we are heading in the right direction. Mark had a great birthday on the Pacific Ocean. Thanks for all the satellite messages. They were most appreciated. I surprised him with a brownie birthday cake with our hot lunch! We had some entertainment from several birds. One boobie looked like he was planning on landing on the fore deck, and took a number of swipes during the day. He didn't succeed. We must have scared him off or the jib sail was in his way. Saw many other birds, gracefully soaring so very close to the water surface, looking for food way out here.
