This adventure is over.
day six I think. after night of passing through squalls and small nothing extreme, this morning. we decided it was time to turn east and head directly for the trade winds. We did have a little excitement last night when we spotted several waterspouts nearby on the radar but none of them gave us any problems and none of the little storms was any real deal. it has been a slow day of light winds and progressing along it. oh a little under five knots or so. and honestly, we just didn't care that much long as we are moving forward. we're trying to conserve fuel so running the motor all the time is just not the answer. and besides we're kind of tired of listening to it. at one point the wind died and the boat almost came to a standstill and all of us just sat around doing our various things reading a book, cleaning the boat fooling with electronics. you can figure out who is doing each of those. it's getting dark now, there's the squall line in front of us but it doesn't look too big, and we will continue through tonight to make slow progress towards the east to find these mythical trade winds I've heard so much about.
