Yesterday our noon-to-noon run was 129nm, todays was 140nm. The winds finally decide to fill in last night and we are able to make some decent speed. The excitement level has went way up last night when while on night watch you could hear an occasional soft, guttural sqwuak. WE had a bird or two land on the solar arch. In the moonless night you couldn't see them, but they were probably boobies. This was about midway between South America and Africa, a 1,000 miles from land. Seems odd that they would decide that this noght they wanted to rest.
Then after sunrise we had our first ship since leaving St Helena. A tanker that came by at about 2 miles. After that it has been back to boredom
