[status] The wind is slowly starting to come around a bit more to the east and we?re heading more towards Barbados. The forecast suggests the wind will lighten and go more easterly over the next few days. Would be nice to get the wind aft of the beam again on a more comfortable point of sail. We?re doubled reefed with part of the head sail furled away and moving along at about 7 to 8kt with a favorable current.

It was a sad night for the flying fish. We found about a dozen dead on the deck and even one in the dinghy this morning.

Seeing several ships daily now. A few have been tankers coming and going to Venezuela.

635 miles to go to Barbados
