Liz is clipped in cooking up the rest of our delicious dorado, after a pretty uneventful day. Pickles and French pate was lunch over scrabble. The sky has been mostly covered in beautiful big puffy clouds, giving us a great sunrise and sunset.
We shook our 2nd reef for the afternoon to go faster, but the wind is back up and the reef is back in. The waves are a bit steep and close together, so sometimes it does feel like someone has put the brakes on as we slam hard into one (the noise a little unsettling too). But our 24-hour run yesterday was 146-nm, so we are averaging just above 6-knots.
Sadly we never were able to get the Alaska Eagle on the radio. Most likely we are farther east than their track south, since we've been trying to insure we don't get headed and miss our island. All well aboard as we head into darkness, looking forward to our 2130 moonrise.
Our efforts to fight skin cancer on this trip have been difficult in this sun.
