[weather] wind 14 ESE, cloud 40%, Bar 1023, little chop but no waves

[status] Anchored in North Minerva Reef.  We arrived at 8am yesterday,
cleaned the salt off the boat, had a little breakfast, and took a big
nap.  Got up in the afternoon and the water was clear as glass because
it was low tide and the waves don't come over the reef at low tide
unless there are really rough seas.  We are in 50 feet of water and
could clearly see the bottom.  This is an incredible place in the middle
of the ocean!

Last night we had our "fleet" radio net group (Rewa, Scoots, and Gone
with the Wind) over for dinner.  Rewa had caught a huge fish, so we had
a great fish dinner compliments of Rewa. The full moon came up for a
beautiful night and we had a great party.

Today, we plan to go exploring on the reef.  More later - G&T
