Daily scenes

that beautiful moon...with boat motion. We saw so many stars on that night. Absolutely no light pollution. It was so magical and beautiful.

sunrising on elise

External halyard as a 'just in case' backstay. and Nathan needed to use webbing to secure the 'new' headstay

getting ready for a squall
Dinner...lasagna...

Another flying sardine on the foredeck (and the 'runner' chute)

Our lunch salad...some cabbage. Keeps really well outside of a fridge.

the runner

neat bundles of lines...always running clear...you never know when you need to hit the panic button

No water needed shampoo but rain was welcome as it would rinse the salt off of everything on deck. The warm Pacific sun would then be a wonderful dryer...

The 'sailor's kit': cup, winch handle and water bottle...

Nathan just done with a gybe on the foredeck (we took turns. I really wanted to be 100% reliable, even though, I didnt have previous Pac Cup experience). Nathan trusted me...he went to sleep while I was on watch...

Enjoying a glass of wine...

The ocean was pretty interesting on port side that morning. note that the padded lifeline was my toilet seat after Nathan lost our bucket overboard...Oh and what kind of debries did you see this morning?

- a floating fender

oh, nice, i saw a paint container lid...and a couple of flying sardines
