Well, this has definitely made it into the record books for the longest passage ever for both of us. The way over from Mexico took 24 days of sailing (but really the record was 21 days straight since we stopped at the Socorro Islands after 3 days). Anyhow, we're getting close now, less than 500 miles to go, and we've had plenty of cold north wind for the past two days. Those winds should take us all the way in to port. May get some heavyish winds to keep things exciting just when we're getting verrryyyy tired. We hope to make landfall in a couple of days.
Tim's been keeping busy with little projects of course, trying to keep us dry and warm in the cockpit where we sit for our watches. It's gotten a bit rough for cooking but i did manage a pan of brownies for watch treats last night. We've still got a bit of tuna left which may go into a thai curry if it gets calm enough later today. Other than a rolly boat which requires constant bracing and one hand to steady yourself, all's well on board.
