Atlantic Crossing Day 7

At 0900 UTC our position was 22.49.61N, 26.43.34W.



Here we are still bobbing around the Atlantic at the start of Day 7. We have had the spinnaker flying for the last three days continuously. There is very little to report other than we are all still happy and healthy. The dolphins have taken a respite from visiting us for the last 24 hours, but we had one curious seabird pay attention to us. It flew through our cockpit and around the boat a few times. We figured it was looking for a resting post but I don't believe it ever landed. Unbelievable to be hundreds of miles off shore and here is this lone little bird flying around out here.



We are still waiting to catch the big one. We have caught four little tunas, which we have all released to live another day. We are still holding out hope we can enjoy some fresh sushi on board soon!!!



Life is fairly simple on board. We take our turns at watches, including Ella (Iris attempted once and her limited attention span lasted a whole 25 minutes), sleep, read, make meals, watch the stars, see the sun and moon rise and set. Life is good.



We are enjoying gentle seas and breezes. It is not a quick crossing so far, but we are happy to have the calm conditions while they last.
