A very (perhaps too) relaxing day

Dan pretty much said it all. Flat seas, no wind. We all took showers and
caught up on our sleep. Dan watched my favorite movie (Animal House)
twice. Nick Jr & I are a little worried about the heat we might take from
Laura & Pfoof for letting him watch it, but mostly it's good honest humor.
About 3 hours ago a catamaran appeared to our southeast. We called them on
the VHF radio. It was a husband and wife on a 46' cat named Hands Across
the Sea, headed from Antigua to Newport. They apparently aren't as
concerned about fuel conservation as we are, so they blew by us with both
engines going and are now on the horizon. Herb says the wind is supposed
to pick up in the morning from the SW. It has already started to come
around to that direction, but still only 5 knots, not enough to sail, but
the change in direction is encouraging. All in all a good day, but some
wind would be nice.
