NEWS:
There has been little change in the weather in the past 24 hours, except that the wind has backed off slightly and the sea has settled some. The night was interesting as we motored between trade showers with spectacular lightning. At times we were surrounded by showers with lightning off in the distance in all directions.
Yesterday afternoon we had one wahoo hit followed by a double dolphin hit. We almost lost one of the dolphin off the deck when he came off the gaff, luckily we were able to dive on top and hold him down.
We should arrive in Antigua tomorrow morning at our current speed.
