Passage to Ecuador day 2

5 51.352 N, 79 42.892 W

Last night we had tremendous thunder and lightening. I counted 600 flashes during my 2 3-hour watches. Some were large forks hitting the horizon.

It's raining, it's pouring

Today we had winds from 3 knots to 28 knots with large sloppy seas and lots of rain. We were positively drenched so we put on our foulies. It has been a long time since we have done that. Now the winds are at 5 knots but we don't have an adverse current so we are making some headway. We covered 125 miles in our first 24 hour period.

Rich saw a killer whale pass us this afternoon. Interesting. Not much else out here but container ships and boobies.

Are we there yet?
