We've just finished another day and night of clear weather sailing. Beautiful blue sky with puffy marshmallow clouds during the day and clear sky with just enough clouds to give us breeze at night. We were able to make 7 kn of speed in 11/12 kn breeze. We owe it to a great boat and perfect trim (Yes, Jack, we have perfect trim!). Everyone's favorite watch seems to be the night and early morning hours. We're sailing along the Milky Way, following it's path. We watch the constellations move across the star ladened night sky and watch the florescent algae as it looks like hundreds of Tinkerbells flying in our wake. Flying fish have jumped into the cockpit for a visit on a couple of occasions. Joe gallantly tossed his visitor back into the water while Michele screamed like a girl when she tried to pick up her visitor. Who knows what will happen if squid come visiting! We began motoring at 9:30 this morning to skirt through the bottom of the high and are hoping to catch bigger breeze on the other side. Everyone sends greetings.
Until tomorrow,
Dennis and the PacBack crew

Perhaps if squid come visiting Joe can treat you all to calamari! Save some breadcrumbs! Enjoy!
