day 6
Last day of sailing today as we rounded the most westerly point of Cuba late last night. It's back to coaching at the helm as many of the crew experience upwind conditions for the first time. With a totally flat sea and warm airflow, the conditions are idyllic. We are currently waiting for the wind to back to the north to facilitate a tack that will put us directly on track to Hemingway Marina. The moon has lit the way throughout the night, and the sun will be reappearing very soon as we commence our final day of the voyage.

Dolphin party!
Kate was about to yank the spinnaker’s sock down when I spotted a stampede of fins heading straight for us. ”Dolphins!”, I yelled back to the cockpit excitedly. Post dinner dish duty was halted down below for the show.
The pool is open!
We stopped the boat, got the ladder down and put out a line with a fender behind the boat. I love swimming in the middle of the ocean, and a bit scary when you realize its more than 4000+ m deep! Love it!
Big Pink Sail Day
I had a most fashionable pointed striped hat at dinner, and out of the depths of a cupboard a cake was created, after 14 days at sea. A group of people I had never met two weeks ago made me feel very special today.
