[weather]Winds lighter than expected. Motor-sailed first 22 hours until we exited Manning Straits to open ocean. Now enjoying 7-9 knots from SE but have an adverse current of about 1 knot

[status]All well on board. Caught a Mahi before exiting Manning Straits (after about 4 strikes that resulted in nothing getting hooked). Looks like a slow (but comfortable) trip. It has been HOT and water temp up to 90 F. Water should cool down once we leave the 'hot pool'.

There is nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and enslaving than the life at sea.
