i did my usual sleep from 3-6pm, between watches, after sending an email or two via our precious sailmail account (very short emails could be send via a single sideband connection) to family and friends -- felt unusually well-rested -- and woke again to discover we were moving out of the pacific high pressure system, and into a soft grey drizzle -- we all clustered under the dodger in the companionway for a while, munching pretzels and talking -- then the rain eased and the wind picked up enough for us to sail instead of motor, first time in two days!

and david decided to make mac & cheese for dinner, and was instructing mouse and i below on how to make a roux to start, when Tim called from the cockpit, fish on!!

we're getting into cooler waters than before, so no more mahi, now we've got ahi (tuna, big eyes, always look surprised) -- nice of this guy to show up at dinnertime! (more to follow...)
