Day 3 Meeting at sea

Hello to No Regrets
The scenery is now just blue water to the horizon. No Regrets is no longer in sight. Their Cal 39 is faster in light winds than Southern Star so overnight they put about 17 miles between us.
With no wind we took the opportunity for another swim - this time with an intermediate soap up. The water is very refreshing and it is nice to feel clean.
Since we needed to charge the batteries, we hailed No Regrets and told them we would motor forward to close the gap.
After about 3 hours, they came into view and we circled each other for a while so we could chat. We had a book on board that they wanted to read so Pat rigged a pole with a bucket on the end so we could give them the book without getting the boats too close together. The whole thing made for some great pictures.
In light winds and calm seas, No Regrets again sailed away in front of us but not before getting some great pictures of the sunset. I wish I could take pictures of Southern Star but we have to settle for pictures of our companions.
Our current position is 18º14.754N by 108º01.495W or about 250 miles offshore. We are on a Southwesterly course that will have us clearing a wide margin around the Islas Revillagigedos.
