Day 3

Position 15.54 N, 70.26 W
Sailing under spinnaker but slow.... what a difference a day makes, winds have all but died away and seas our down to 2-3 feet and declining. We had a short visit from a pod of dolphins. We also found a nut on the deck of the boat.... after a search including a trip to the top of the mast. Yes it swings around alot! up there in a sea way, we found the lone bolt on the lower attachment of the spinnaker and all was saved. It took Bruce (winch man) and Dave (bosun guy) a few hours to recover from the mast trip.
