DAY - 5

Shower day. Everyone got a salt water bucket bath on the stern of Chasch
Mer today. Calm seas, hot sun and ice cold water. It felt terrific. The
cabin should smell much better tonight. Five guys living on a 50 ft boat,
the odors can have all the flavors of the rainbow.

Eating very well, as Jackie, an amazing cook on Oahu made us lots of frozen
dinners. Lunch was meat loaf burritos.

It's easy going as we're in a High Pressure system that continues to grow.
Winds are light, yet the stories keep coming. No one has told a story twice
yet. Floating plastic passing by carries with it an occassional excitement
and wonder. We all jump out of our seats to have a look. "Oh look at that
piece of garbage!" "Wow, let's look for fish under it"

Only one small Mahi Mahi to date was caught, and a Boobi.
