[status]It's been a slow but comfortable 24 hours. We caught a barracuda at 6am, and let him go...otherwise no more fish just yet. It's another beautiful day with lots of sunshine and calm seas.

[status] DAY 4 3302 nm to Barbados. Sailing stbd broad reach, Code Zero 5.8kt at 298T. Just easing our way along, non eventful and peaceful sailing out here in the S Atlantic. As we approach the equator it is getting noticeably hotter, and our plans for a swim in the big pool are emerging. But for now, we cruise along, fishing, eating fresh baked bread, and enjoying our mangoes from St Helena which are coming ripe.

[status]We've had a very good 24 hours. Slow sailing, but comfortable and beautiful weather. We caught a 1.2m wahoo this morning to top off a good night watch. Kids were very happy to see fresh fish as well. We still plan on a direct route to Komodo, but....if we still have decent winds the rest of the week we may stop at a remote atoll for some snorkeling and diving in the middle of the Flores sea...so we'll see how things progress.
