Dec 16
Our position at 1200 UTC today was 18 54.8 N, 48 20.7 W; course 281 magnetic. We are 1991 miles out of Las Palmas with 775 to go to Antigua. Made 170 miles in last 24 hours for 7.1 knot average. Weather today is fine again today. Wind about 9 knots from the NNE. Swells about 1.0 meters with a half meter chop. Barometer is at 1017. Experienced a band of showers last night that washed some salt off the boat. Slightly increased wind during showers to 20 knots. Last night about sunset we hooked a very large fish (estimated 4 feet long) which we think was a wahoo. He jumped completely out of the water at least a half dozen times and almost took all the line off our smaller deep sea rig. Then he threw the hook. Quite an exciting event! No other strikes all day. The full moon still makes night watches pleasant.

Hi gang. It sounds like all is well. I don't know if you will get this message, but I wanted to try anyway. Happy Holidays and safe journey.
Tell David that all is well here in San Diego. The new school is nearly ready for opening, and everyone is working very well with one another to make it happed. Lots of last minute changes from the school staff, so it is hectic.
