We're starting to run out of news, here in the middle of nowhere, at least beyond the weather and what we had for dinner. (Continued nice; roast lamb and potatoes. All excellent.)
We did have a few lines of clouds blow through with a bit of rain in them, but the last brief shower this morning resulted in a really nice full-sky rainbow (not to mention giving the deck a quick fresh-water washdown) so no one minded especially.
We never get tired of the sunsets at sea.
Flora and fauna report:
- NO other boats for days... more proof that the ocean is really big, and we're pretty small!
- no dolphins in a while, we're hoping we're about due for some more
- still lots of schools of flying fish
- 2 ex-flying fish on deck this morning (one put to use as a fishing lure, with mixed success: a fish went after it, but we lost the fish, and bait, trying to reel it in.)
