Right now we are going zero knots. Haven't moved since 8 am and now it is 10 am. We are sitting around to see where the fleet is, we all call in our 8 am position report at 10 and everyone gets to listen in to see where everyone else happens to be. We can't use your fancy sat tracking device that is on the Internet. Don't even think about giving us hints as to where the wind is or how we can better role everyone in the fleet.
We heard over our radio that a bunch of boat saw w
Hakes and dolphins jumping in the phosphorescent seas on the first night, we didn't see any this time, I'm sure it was because we were going too fast.
We are a little less rested today since it was all hands on deck to try to convince the non existent wind to move us forward into the next wind band. The weather is very unusual, normally we would be cooking along in the trades by now, spinnaker up, shirts off, muscles bulging. Unfortunately the troposphere prevents the former and Bob's lack of muscles prevents the latter.
Oatmeal for breakfast, pb and j on muffins for lunch, lasagna for dinner. Dinner last night (roast and potatoes) was good and hardy. Everyone is still doing great. No problems releasing cargo or staying hydrated. I think I might actually gain weight on this trip.
It is awesome that people are checking out the blog. If they want to send us a message, they can email you and you can forward it to us.
Love you and hope you don't have to wait too long for us in Hawaii.
