Another beautiful sailing day. This time we were
running straight downwind and could not use the cruising spinnaker, but brought
out the jib with a whisker pole and ran "wing-on-wing" (mainsail on
one side, jib on the other), looks just great. That day we also caught our first
fish, a nice salmon (which we had for dinner that day). Actually before that
Oliver caught a small shark (which they released), but I was asleep and missed
it. In the afternoon the wind started to get stronger but during Oliver and mine
12-3am watch things were still manageable. By this time we were already close to
the California border.
