Day 7

At the helm again, the sailing is beautiful, although the wrong direction. The engine room is too hot to keep all our precious Costco meat and fresh caught fish frozen…. So we are giving it a break!
There is a Cold Front coming tomorrow and we are racing our way towards a line, below which the storm won’t be so bad. The past few days have been fairly calm, although we did have one squall.
Yesterday we ripped apart the boat trying to find the sender for the Port fuel tank, with no luck. I also manually pumped out the bilges and prepped and “froze” the Tuna and Mahi we caught yesterday. The guys were pretty happy with the fishing success! Last night we feasted!
After a week we are all a little tired and trying to find the groove of sleep, solving problems, outrunning weather and bracing for the next unknown. Many boats, about 1/3 of the feet have diverted to Bermuda to wait for a better weather wind…. We persisted (but are now close to the back of the pack). There are 7 other boats within 25nm of us.Weiterlesen
