Ahhh, Mahi

Short post as it’s rockin’ and rollin’ and very hard to type.

We caught a Mahi just after lunch today, so we had fresh Mahi Mahi, rice and salad for dinner. (yay!) It was delicious. The fish also provided 5 additional dinners for two, 1/2 pound of ceviche that I made this afternoon and a pound of extra bits for chowder. Yum.

More blue water and blue skies with some clouds along with 10 foot seas and 15-20 knot winds. A good day, but we’re almost straight downwind which makes it rolly in these big waves. Wilson is doing an amazing job steering. We have only tweaked it when we reef the jib in or out-which is once or twice a day-and after three days, it’s steering us within five miles of the rhumb line course.

It’s beautiful out here even at night when the full moon is illuminating everything.

OK, time for bed. It’s Ann’s watch from 1000 to 0200.

By the way; to our family who are now in Aptos on vacation-Ann made ginger cookies for you all, but we can’t figure how to deliver them, so we’ll have to eat them. Sorry, she’ll make more later.
