That one wave

There's always one wave that hits you in the face. Usually it's right before your watch is over, when you have to go forward of the cockpit, or if you've strayed out of the cabin w/out foulies for any reason. ...or if your standing in the galley and your Dad accidentally leans on the salt water spray nozzle aimed at your back. I can laugh about it now, but wouldn't you know I had just changed to a clean shirt earlier in the day!

Dad and I had bean burritos for dinner last night...saved Vince's from the round trip that we would have witnessed. Sounds like he's doing better today, or at least that's the hope in making something soft like oatmeal for breakfast. I told him my efforts to keep him healthy were selfish since it'd be more of a struggle if we only had two drivers. He's been a real trooper, standing all of his watches even though he's been green.

Any sailing report would be like a broken record, which is good I think. The barometer has climbed to 1022mb, so we're making progress on our rendezvous with the High. Think of that high like a flat-top ski mountain: we'll hike (beat) up the southwest side, pole (motor) across the top, and then ski (reach, hopefully) down the east side.

Any news or opinions on hurricanes in the Gulf or routing suggestions for us can be sent via Mom and/or Liz - we'd appreciate either/both.
