Our meal at Lili Cipriani
Well, 35 hours later, here we are.
After about 24 hours of constant motoring, we hit heavy commercial shipping, they seemed to be everywhere, but we managed to get around everything just fine. Cuervo was leading the way, and Dave did an awesome job communicating with SOMF as to what was ahead of them.
On my watch, during a full moon on my brother Gerry's birthday on 2/17, I scattered some of his ashes in the ocean. It was pretty emotional, as it always is.
Dave and I had a couple of mishaps during our passage. The first one was that we needed to add deisel while underway at 2:00 a.m. and we spilled about a litre or so on deck and in the cockpit, but we got it all cleaned up. And, about 8 hours after that, we had our engine overheat from the raw water strainer clogging with jellyfish, which messed up the raw water pump. So we told SOMF that we needed a half hour to change things out. We raised our sails, let the auto pilot go and we went to work. Within a half hour we were up and running again.
Lots of humpback whales along the way, and they stayed clear of us and we stayed clear of them. We also came across a long-line, and went about a half mile out of our way, until we saw the pange fisherman and they waved us over the line, and all was well again.
Both of us sleep deprived, we made it to our anchorage after only 35 hours.
