Of Special Interest:.
•       Didn’t even try to fish—too rough
•       Crossed paths with an American sailboat mid-morning, a Malo 42 named ‘Bizim’ with 1 Brit and 2 Yanks aboard going to the Grenadines.  Made contact with their skipper over the VHF and took photos of each other sailing which we will e-mail to each other.
•       We’ll be 25% of the way there sometime this evening .
