Mad Fish - Little by little



We make our miles anyway we can. I suspect from the tracker it is hard to see when we are motoring and when we are sailing.We did two motoring stints yesterday. The first was for 2 hours and the second was for 5 hours. We are making an effort to keep them low but we will not sit out here in no wind going nowhere! We have been tacking on 20 degree windshifts!

Sailing along nicely right now doing 6 knots plus right at the Azores and it feels great. We don't have enough fuel to motor at this distance and during one of our motoring stints stopping at Flores was discussed but if this breeze holds for a couple of days we will be just fine.

Lots of wildlife out here. Big turtles, dolphins, whales and another tuna on our line a minute ago.

The kids are doing well. Sean taught them how to play poker yesterday and an afternoon of being hustled by him then ensued!

Looking forward to tonights Tuna dinner. Looking frward to Horta more!
362 miles to go.
