[status] We were up early this morning, departed the Cathedral anchorage and sailed to the Mitsios Islands (54 miles). We motored for most of the morning, but a nice breeze came up shortly before noon and we sailed the rest of the way. Seas are flat on this side of Cap D'Ambre because the ocean swell is blocked, so it was delightful sailing. We put our fishing lure out for the first time this season, and got a big hit, but it got away before we even started reeling it in. We saw a few whales along the way too. We are planning to stay in the Mitsios Islands for a few days - maybe do a bit of snorkeling and land exploring. There is no cell phone service here, which means no internet, so we are sending this position report via our satphone. We have not seen much of the news today, but are thinking of our family and friends in the path of Hurricane Florence, and sending our most positive thoughts to them.
