It has been another gorgeous day, bright and sunny to start with and a high cloud cover moving in through out the afternoon. The wind has steadily whispered with 8 to 12 knots from NNE and NE directions and moved us comfortably at a good pace with swell hardly noticeable right through the middle of the sophisticated Musician Seamounts. We already passed by the renowned Sibelius, Ravel, Mozart, Liszt and Tchaikovsky, with Debussy, Brahms, Wagner and Puccini yet to come. As it looks now, we will not be rekindling with our rhump line any time soon. The wind is keeping us west and as it looks now, we will be needing all that west later on, when we catch up to the big low, that will be passing ahead in about 5 days time. Still a bit too early to make reliable predictions.
The only small excitements provided were by a small fishing vessel, we had to evade with a 10° course change at 3 o'clock in the morning and a small Mahimahi, which sacrificed itself on our fishing lures and will be our highly anticipated dinner tonight. All is well aboard... but how could it not be!
PS: As we are moving further away from our radio link, we will also be broadcasting the daily updates later in the day toward sunset, when the connection is better. Just so you know. Do not torture the refresh button!
