Sailing Bear and Seal

I’m still not running full speed at this point. A good sailing friend recommended Sarah Maas’s Court series books so I’m listening on Audible since I can’t look at computer screens or read without the ick creeping in. I’m minimal help at best.

Mark on the other hand is running the show. He’s altering out sail pattern, tweeking the navigation and all-round just plugging away. To keep himself occupied, he gets into recording the routine activities that occur during a long crossing.

The highlight of these two days is our experience with the local net-setters. There is a larger boat that is dropping and picking up the lines. These men are catching the predators that are feasting on the bounty that is the caught fish. Several of the boat were filled with shark. The longest series of fishing nets that they guided us around was over seven hours of sailing. So at five knots per hour, that series was over 35 miles of net. The red and blue stars on the boat indicated they were based in Panama.
