Sailing Day 3

Wow, what a super great day!  Just finished a super supper and thinking about tacking.  The ocean has warmed up to 82 degrees from 72, and the ocean has become super iridescent blue. We spent about an hour trolling the children and ourselves off the rear swim step. Absolutely wonderful!

We found our first squall today, but were unable to actually catch it. Would have loved to give the boat and ourselves a freshwater shower!  I believe that we are getting closer to the ITCZ so wind should become more and more scarce, and the shifty winds more and more common.  The reason we are weaving all over the ocean is that the wind keeps deciding to change directions.  Fortunately though the night winds have been fairly steady, which means relaxing watches.  Looks like we should find some more wind about 50 miles to the Southeast.  So off we go!!!

Courage
