Today was a day of mostly motorsailing. It was a good thing we had the motor running as the fishing fleet decided it was time to come in. It was like rush hour on the freeway. Unfortunately you can not be sure that some one is at the helm besides the autopilot. As we were going 90 degrees to their path we had to speed up or slow down as they passed.
We saw hundreds of birds in large flocks heading out to the fishing grounds and back again. They looked like swarms of bees. Flight schools of pelicans with at least 30 birds in a class.
We are so looking forward to arriving in Callao. Passaging is going well, the weather has been moderate, we could wish for wind from a direction other than from the south but slim chances of that but we are ready to be there. In the meantime we enjoyed fresh baked blueberry muffins for breakfast so life is not too bad.
Cheers,
Elaine and Rich
