Enroute St Helena - Day 2

Second day noon to noon run was 166nm. Pretty easy sail and the night watch is not near as cold. Last night at about 1am I was on watch and Chris was just getting up to take over. All of a sudden the boat stank. To me it smelled like rotten fish, to Chris below she thought it was something electrical burning. It was pitch black, with no moon. I thought we had just passed close by a whale and this was the whale spout bad breath. After we switched watches and I was in my bunk, Chris found the source of the smell. A couple of large flying fish had landed in the cockpit.
