Wednesday afternoon Timoneer continued almost due West in the rain as we approached the Southern center of the low pressure system between us and the coast of the states. The wind continued to die out throughout the afternoon dropping to 4 knots as we caught our first fish of the trip a 15lb Wahoo. Then as the sun set we passed through a wall of clouds and rain with the wind instantly back at 25kts out of the West. We fell off a bit to the North and motor sailed with the staysail for the rest of the evening in 25-35kts of breeze.
