A calm day, very calm



There they are, both "Lady Jean" and "Catch 22', just on our starboard side, slightly astern. That should make VHF contact easy!

A calm day, As in becalmed. But with a confused rolling motion. We motor mostly through the slightly bumpy waters, hoping for more wind later on. We motor. Sail. Motor. Back and forth as the unstable winds come and go. Where are our steady trades?
Baking new bread in the skillet, one round loaf. Warm, fresh bread with Cape Verde margarine melting into it. Mmmm.

At night the green starboard lights of our Dutch sailor-friends follow to port. We all motor on.
