night sail last night. Stars were out and the wind was good.
Bio-luminescence was bright in our wake, and every so often a flying fish
would bounce off the sail!
This morning we got the main sail rigged up to the racing traveler. This
means the biminy cover has to come down from the cockpit, so we're getting a
lot more sun, but we have a full set of sails to play with. That didn't last
too long though, as the wind died this afternoon, so we're motoring towards
Florida. Means that the boat is level down below for a change, so it's not
as much of a challenge going to the head!
Seeing a lot more wildlife as we get closer to land. Schools of flying fish
shooting over the water like small blue birds, seagulls, and even a pigeon
followed us for about an hour at one point! Looks like we'll pull into Key
West on Monday morning now, sooner the better!
