[status] DAY 12 2415 nm to Barbados. Stbd wing and wing DDW sgl rf main and poled out jib, 5.0kts at 335T. Well, our love affair with the stargazing was rudely interrupted last night when some sea birds decided Kailani would make a good overnight roost. We had noticed a few days ago one or two black birds coming by, checking out our fishing tackle. They must have been scouts, because last night we had 20-30 birds settle on our bimini, dodger, radar, wind generator, outboards, and even the boom! Harley battled them valiantly, sweeping the boat hook under their feet to attempt to encourage displacement. But they were persistent, and all one could hear was a cacophony of cackling accompanied by pitter patter sounds as their feet moved back and forth to adjust to the movement of the boat. As aforementioned, it made for a less than peaceful watch keeping while sitting up in the cockpit, and was equally ironic due to the fact that Harley was attempting to watch the movie "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". Hah!
