This morning, Dave tried to teach an albatross to water ski behind the boat. He had hooked himself on a squid lure (the bird, that is), and was skiing on his outstretched feet. We got him up to the rail, and I held him while Dave unhooked him. None the worse for wear (the bird again). Big bird -- over 6' span.
The wind is finally backing a bit, allowing us to sail due east. We expect it to continue to back to northerly over the next 24 hours, allowing us to head more NE. All is well, but we'll be happy to have the wind further aft. We've been beating or close reaching for seven days. The boat is sailing very well, and the tiller pilot is steering perfectly.
