This morning I found a flying fish in the cockpit. Too small to eat, though. And when I got in the towing generator, I found bite marks on the propeller! Knowing the force at which the propeller turns, I think the attacking fish (shark, tuna?) needs a dentist! That should teach him!

Around noon a front came through, with fierce rain and gusting wind up to 30 knots. I took the mainsail down for a while, and continued under jib only, still doing 6.5 knots. After the front, skies cleared and the wind steadied again at some 15/18 knots, due west. Perfect, easy sailing.
