Nick Cage double feature today, still low winds and waves lasted all night. Some deep sleep by both of us, slightly different schedule than normal with longer sleeps. Slept in past breakfast today so made eggs for a brunch during “Raising Arizona”.
The wind and waves tried to return, started touching 10 knots and that pushes the boat along nicely for the second feature of “Snowden”.
Before “Snoden” finished the AIS alarms went crazy. What? Someone? Something else out here? Low and behold our second and third vessels on this journey. 2 Spanish fishing boats were out fishing, one of which zig-zagged in our direction causing multiple collision alarms. Never really was close to us, several miles away most of the time, be could see the ‘deadliest catch’ style fishing boat out running in circles.
Tonight will mark the 1/2 way point somewhere just after midnight. We still have our clocks on Chile time, just to keep consistent. At this point the time zone is at least 3 hours off. The GPS says it is 5pm, our Chile time says 8 pm. It is easier to remember one time conversion when wondering what time it is back home without changing with every time zone we cross. That and the shift times don’t change. The sunrise and sunset are where the confusion comes in. Sunrise used to be 7am, but is getting later and later on our clocks, its now 9am. 🙂
All good on board, Burgers and Pringles for dinner. Eating too many snacks on night shifts as the fruits are being consumed. Down to the last avocado, probably finish that tomorrow.
Sailing full sails now. Wind on beam but barely 10 knots of breeze. We shall see if it holds through the night.
Cheers
