Sunday 20:00 – Midnight watch

The waning crescent moon and Mars shining brightly after sunset.  Sorry, it’s difficult to get a steady shot from a sailboat…

The wind has picked up a little and we are back under sail again.  The forecast we are getting says that we should have perfect sailing weather for the next few days.  With any luck, we should be able to make the remaining 511nm in a little over 4 days.

Once again, I am seeing some lightning in the distance, it seems to be a nightly occurrence.

So far, I have been able to find Leo, Virgo, Scorpius, Libra and the Sextans in the sky tonight. The Milky Way is brilliant out here!

We’re currently in the deeper areas of the Gulf of Mexico, the water here is around 10,000 feet deep here.
