Definitely in the tropics now, with flying fish on the decks and masked boobies circling the boat. I can't believe how much flying fish fly...I always assumed they sort of leapt, but when you hear their wings...it's flight! Hot and sunny. After days of calm and making steady but slow progress, we are now heading in the right direction at 5-6 knts. Really enjoying the passage and looking forward to eating up the miles today.
