Day 4

After a night of off and on sailing we have had a day of nearly no wind at all. Seas are very calm. We have been motoring along, hoping for wind to come up as we get along west of a cold front coming down from the Gulf of Mexico tonight. Will need some wind some time because we will run out of fuel if we have to motor the rest of the way.

Two fish on today, the first threw the hook, the second took every last bit of line and the hook - we got spooled.... no more fishing.

Saw a few more ships today, but none would answer our radio call, wanted to get some more diesel and fishing line!
