A pleasant day on the boat. The weather is warm, the sky is clear, we sailed for a couple of hours which was amazing and smooth, and we caught another skipjack in the morning. Last night I spent a few hours watching a ship go by. She was on AIS, but very poorly lit, and came less than two nautical miles to us. A little stressful, but it looked like she was on a safe path the whole way through.

Today my entourage of birds has grown, and is now joined by a single dolphin. I am not sure if this is some kind of escort detail, or if we just happen to be heading the same way. Cloud Nine is now at 4,500 miles for this trip, and at 17,471 miles total under me as captain. Happy to say we are both fairing well at the moment.
