Position: 00722N17213E 11/21/08 Friday evening We’re almost there, only 70 miles to go! The passage has been a pretty good one. We had wind practically the whole way, except for one day (the seas were still there to rock and roll us though). We continue to learn ours and Sand Dollars capabilities. We experienced some pretty viscous squalls, but came through them OK. We had a full moon during a lot of our passage, so when it wasn’t disturbed by squalls, we had scenic nights. Fishing was productive and kept us stocked up on tasty protein. We don’t bother eating the anchovy size flying fish that we frequently find on deck though. Today we were accompanied by a school of dolphin. Since we will be arriving during the weekend, we will hang out on a out of town mooring until Monday. This way we can avoid the weekend check-in overtime fees. No problem though, we have plenty to do to get Sand Dollar in harbor order. Will provide an update after we get settled in at Majuro. Hope everybody has a happy Thanksgiving. 2040 miles sailed. 70 miles to go.
