This has to be the most difficult sail I have ever had. We sail and sail and the wind and currents allow us to go either nowhere (if we are lucky) or the wrong way. I am keeping my chin up, but it is not easy. While we are in no danger or anything like that, this is not fun and I want it to be done and over with. Unfortunately, that will not happen for days more.
Except for not getting anywhere, things are fine. When it got light this morning, there were flying fish (dead ones) all over the deck. They were about 3 inches long. The same flock of night hunting birds has visited us each night, staying all night, fishing in the light of the mast. They only fish on the starboard side, where the green light is, because green light penetrates the water and they can see the fish. it is nice to have company on my night watch,
This is going to be it - the boat is bouncing all over the place and it is hard to type. But we are fine and will eventually reach our port!
