The wind was very light today and we repeated many combinations of sail to try to make headway. Little by little, we fell back from the other two boats until by dark we were about 4 miles behind. Finally the wind picked up and we were able to catch up. Obviously, we do better under stronger winds.
By the end of my shift, the wind was really strong and we saw speeds above 9 knots which is unusually high for Southern Star. This was also accompanies by rain and squalls so you take the bad with the good.
The moon was half full and even though there was a lot of cloud cover, it was very bright outside and the sails of the other boats ahead of us on the dark sea was very striking.
Our beautiful Dorado gave us two more meals of which one was a very creative and delicious fish tacos. Our cupboard is empty of fresh foods so the fish was very welcomed
