NEWS:
The breeze has veered to 080 degrees, almost directly astern, and the heat of the Caribbean is beginning to set in. Except for the wind direction there has been little change in the weather over the past 24 hours. The sea has picked up some, but the movement of the boat is still comfortable.
The small disturbance west of us looks like it will move north quickly and should not affect us. We should also be approaching the area where trade showers are common. The trade showers we be a welcome sight with their free freshwater wash downs, and for something to look at on the radar.
The fishing has slowed some with only 2 small dolphins that were thrown back.
