#3

We found a stowaway today among the lines on the cabin top. It was a little gecko that somehow came aboard while we were in Hawaii. Poor thing looked starved (don't ask - but we all agree he looked starved). He didn't scurry when we took a closer look - in fact, he moved toward us. We caught him up in a class, put in a couple drops of water and a few small pieces of cabbage and then set him in a safe place. Joe checked on him later and he had a piece of cabbage in his (her?) mouth! We saved him!

Sighting #3. About 10 dolphins, which were a different type of dolphin than earlier, playing off the port beam. This one I get to keep all to myself. Everyone else is taking their afternoon naps in preparation for that last sprint to the Golden Gate.

A little more than 70 miles to go. But hey, who's counting?
