After another great breakfast - this time is was Andy's homefries. Michele, Joe and Andy spent the morning napping. It really is amazing how many naps a person can take in a day. We changed places with Dennis and he went down for his turn. The winds held and we cruised along at 8 knots. Andy and Joe spent a couple of hours yeehawing and woohooing as we rode over the crests of waves and drove down the backside. Then, naptime came again. Joe took up residence on the starboard (low side) lazarette and Andy settled into the crook of the starboard hip stanchions. Michele simply watched from her high side perch, enjoying the antics of her companions and the personality of the sea.
We're starting to talk about the end of the trip and transitioning back to our regular lives. It's been an easy trip overall (aside from that whole fishing net and rope around the prop incident)and we plan on enjoying our last three days together.
It's 20:00 and the winds have lightened a bit although we are still able to maintain 6+ knots. We were able to average 8+ knots during the day and saw as high as 9. The winds were 12 - 14 but we saw as high as 17. As of 18:00 this evening, we had traveling 150 miles today. We're hoping to see the higher winds again tomorrow but perhaps not until the afternoon.
We're all excited that we have under 500 miles to go!
