Whoo hoo. A night without starting the engine. So far we have 10hrs of engine since Isla San Jose - we are really happy with that. We are close hauled and taking advantage of the little wind we can find. The ferocity of the squalls has definitely died down, thankfully. Full moon last night made it easier for whomever was standing watch. The catnapping ability is getting better - as a consequence we are feeling much better today. With the boat heeled over at 20+ degrees just trying to move about burns the calories - not quite the gym though. Sea life has quieted down considerably. just the occasional pod of dolphins. Seen no ships for a day. Spotted one satellite, one shooting star and a military transport aircraft. No more rowing boat/white goods to get exited about. Chicken ish stew with tons of veggies in the pressure cooker is proving to be a bit of a star.
