Last night was cloudy and rainy. We had light and shifty wind and we were motoring on and off to keep moving. In the morning it was still mostly overcast but as the day progressed we sailed out of the clouds and the wind improved. By this evening we were sailing nicely and we haven't had to use the motor much today. With some luck we will see the trade winds fill back in for us and it will be easy sailing the rest of the way. We also had quite a few birds following us around today.
Everyone has been doing lots and lots of sleeping and reading while off watch. I think I probably slept for most of the day today. We are not sick of our baguette bread and cheese yet but we have plenty of time for that I suppose. The rice cooker has been doing a good job so far with meals and we even managed to cook eggs in it last night.
Nothing major to report really. No fish to speak of or freak waves but we'll keep our eyes peeled. All is pretty quiet really, maybe too quiet....knock on wood just in case.
