The wind keeps pulling us ahead. Happily the waves are longer now so less of them end up in the cockpit which makes my life aboard much more comfortable. Guppy is going like a spear with the small jib, mainsail reefed and the mizzen up so by tomorrow the distance to Sint Maarten will be down to three-digit… The birds have left for quieter parts, but instead I have plenty of flying fishes again… Some of them come into the cockpit for me to study and some others just pass by like this one group that was chased by a very big fish, possibly a dorado. I guess some of them won’t have survived since it was swimming very close on their tails. But with all the waves washing over Gup and with the others foamy whitecaps it is very difficult to make a good observation of the marine life…
