We are 60 miles away from the point where you have to call the ARC
commitee and say you are going to arrive which is five miles away from
the island. Then there is a two mile check in point and then there is a
dock check in point. We are all ready to end this. Today has been one of
the most anxious moments of my short life. I am definitely not going to
win the arrival pool at this point. It is 17:53 local time and my guess
for the pool was about 21:45 and we are going about 6 knots. We have
about 65 miles to go so it is going to take us at least 11 hours to get
there.
A flying fish landed on our deck today and we used it as bait. It didn't
work so well it fell off so when we reeled it in we only had the hook.
We got a couple of bites today, but once again we did not catch any
fish.
