The wind has decided not to cooperate. It dropped and shifted and is right on the nose. We're motor sailing with just a reefed main and the going is slow. We've been logging 150-160 nm days, but not today. We took advantage of the relatively calm sea to top off the fuel tanks with the jerry cans on the rail.
Since we've been able to sail most of the way, our fuel status is good and we could motor all the way to Tortola at this point if we wanted… NOT!!!! We're getting in as much Easting as we can and hoping to be able to turn south and sail. This morning we found a flying fish on deck. The sea is littered with patches of Sargasso grass, so we decided to put out a fishing line. Took a while, but we finally hauled in a 2 foot skipjack tuna. Not very good eating, so it turned into catch and release.
