[status] Day 12 underway to the Caribbean/Bahamas. We are deep into the doldrums with no wind, so we are motoring and it's hotter than stink. We had a number of squalls dancing around us last night, but none of them hit us directly. We could use a bit of a rain shower to wash some bird poop off our mizzen. We've had some hitchhikers sitting on top of the mizzen sail cover the past several nights, and they left some residue. Will be downloading a weather forecast covering a larger area today to see if it makes sense for us to continue on this course or possibly turn due north to cross over the ITCZ and reach tradewinds more quickly. All is well aboard. 3337 miles to go to the Bahamas.
