Its so humid I must be in New England. Starry night yet everything is wet. Only in New England. I went forward last night to take a peak at the foredeck, and it was so slippery, pretty much the way it is when its poring rain. But the stars were out. And as the boat rolls from side to side, caused by the swell, gib would luff violently and I actually got rained on. Literally rain, the dew would fall off the gib and it would feel like its raining.
Busy fishing ground this entire area South of New England. So many of them were out last night that I hardly got any sleep.
Its cloudy this morning and the advertised SW wind is less then expected, but its sufficient to give me an ETA of 5-8PM tonight. I saw a rather large shark circling something just this morning. And then it disappeared.
Overall the swell had piled up of about 4-5 feet but the boat is comfortable. Autopilot is handling it quite well.
Yesterday's attempt to catch a tuna has failed, so today I am trying a different lure. I am down to the last bread bun, last apple, last orange, and last cup of milk. I still have two coke cans, one sprite, and one cooked meal for this afternoon.
And the forecast calls for a stalling cold from from Canada to ruin the weekend with showers and thunderstorms and cause an overall unstable weather for Saturday and sunday. What else is new, its the weekend in New England. I am just glad I already got my tan, and I am a bit tired of the sun.
