Galapagos Passage day 5/6 (thurs)

Another day another squid. Picked up 7 squid on deck this morning. I want to get some when they are fresh, so we can eat them. But they always seem to be a bit dried by the time I get to them.
Each night we've been attracting a small flock of gulls that fly around the boat. Apparently these gulls are unique to the galapagos area, and unique in that they are the only gulls that hunt at night. They fly around our boat and eat everything that seems to get scared up--likely squid and flying fish. They also seem to make a funny sqeaky/clicking noise. Our Galapagos book says it is believed that they use this for echolocation.
Fairly nice day today. We are sailing at 7.3 kts, COG 255Mag (essentially the rhumb line to Santa Cruz from our current position). Wind is at about 60 degrees apparent at 11-12kts true.
All is well.
