June 8th and 9th, Day 4 and 5

Yesterday and today have kind of blended together. I had a late watch and we changed time zones again. We are now 7 hours behind Eastern Standard time and in the time zone of the Samoan Islands (GMT-11).

The trade winds have returned and we have been enjoying wispy scattered clouds with a beautiful blue background and some great sunsets. The wind has been relatively steady around 8-12 knots out of the SE and the seas have been calm making life onboard pleasant. We made a soup last night in the rice cooker of peas, carrots, and canned chicken which was pretty good and today we made two pots of rice for lunch. We are running low on baguette bread but we have a surplus of cheese and onions. Also, we may all be addicted to Nutella chocolate and I for one hope we don't run out!

600 miles to go!
