We have no wind! We have been motor sailing the whole day, but sometimes we put the sails away because they are no help at all. We had planned to leave a day earlier to stay ahead of these doldrums but had to stay and report the crazy man in Daniel’s Bay. We are only running the engine at 2,000 RPM’s so that we do not burn precious fuel.
We have had good distraction by going through audio books. We were so distracted we forgot to record our position at noon, so below is exactly where we are right now as this message is posted.
Cheers just shy of the equator,
Wade and Sara
