Really not much to report today. we sailed through the night with the black, red, and white spin up. it was a really beautiful evening. it was mostly cloudy, but for an hour of my watch it cleared and you could see a ton of stars. ( sorry D no satellites) we did not get hit by any squalls till early this morning but we weather it just fine, we have done this a few times now.
its getting really hot on board now. the swell and color of the ocean looks a lot like Hawaiian waters, i keep forgetting that we are still out in the middle of the ocean. Last night Chase mad a killer diner with the left over Mahi Mahi, yes believe it or not there were left over's. he made fish tacos, it was ono!! today for our Sunday brunch my mom made pancakes, eggs, and bacon, it was IHOP with a view.
Kirstin: mom said not to worry about putting any food in the house, she says thank you for everything.
Dean: you are to classic!!!! i bet when you knocked the flag off the stern you were eating a box of candy by the fist full, and not offering any to anyone else. the crew loves ya.
See you all soon. LA
P.S. Chase would like to send a "shout-out" to the nurses at LKMC. Thanks for following us on our journey. Your support is much felt and appreciated!
