[status] 20181205 0600 UTC, Day 16. 2 PonB, Douglas & Morgan, all is well. Outbound Fiji. Inbound Marshall Islands. 5nm VMG. DOLDRUMS. HOT. But we really love the open sea. It's so peaceful. Dolphins visit us multiple times each day now. They are feeding on the school of fish under Tumbleweed. At times the water is smooth, rippleless, with large undulating long-period swell gently lifting us. We are going to continue to drift and wait for sailing winds, perhaps 5 days out. Our biggest concern with this plan is the potential for building swell from high winds to the northeast. 555 nm to go (rhumbline).
