John Kostecki: We finally got on to port gybe today, for the first time in at least a week. To be honest it has been such a long time, that I have actually lost track of when we were on port tack. We are 1250 miles from the mouth of the Chesapeake and we have now entered the last phase of this leg, exiting the trade winds and getting into the North American frontal regime. It looks like a few transitions ahead, so hopefully that will bring opportunity. Not a lot of wild life on this leg. Flying fish and a few dolphins here and there. The flying fish, are a little bit of a problem for us as over the last week, they have flown on to the deck and into the sail bags. The fish are so small and hard to find, that we end up not finding the fish. This makes some pretty smelly sails, which is not too bad when they are on deck, but when they come below in light airs it can get very stinky. We are all looking forward to getting to Baltimore. We are already talking about attending the Orioles games and other fun activities in the city and around the waterfront. |
