Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

Last night after I wrote the blog a flying fish flew through the hatch a
landed right next to where I was sitting. It was pretty surprising. We
threw it back in the water because it was too small to eat. They are
very neat looking. They are long and skinny with big eyes and even
bigger fins that they use as their wings.

Today the wind has been very strong and the waves are big. We have had
quite a few times today where the boat was almost horizontal and the
crazy people that I am sailing with decided not to take down the
spinnaker. We have gone 120 miles today at noon and we have not eaten
dinner yet so I think that at the end of today we will have gone 190
miles or more in one day. Right now we are trying to sail away from a
squall line so we are heading in the wrong direction which may cut down
on the number of miles we go.

"Crazy", uh oh when Dan says that I am sure that you are pushing the limits of sanity. Dan, this is when you need VD (to others out there it is not venereal disease it is verbal diarrhea)to tell them over and over again that they NEED to take the parasailor DOWN. Stay safe and I hope that you do have a better dinner than an under sized flying fish. xoxoxphoof
