Al called again today from the satellite phone aboard Ryen's Quest. They continue to enjoy really nice sailing weather, with all sails up. She is sailing well with no problems. The watches are working well, and they are 640 miles from either Tortola or Bermuda. I am hoping they are closer to the BVI's than Bermuda. So the sooner they get there, sooner I get there. It is so less stressful getting calls that they are safe and warm and dry. Al said, and I quote, "Finally, this is what sailing is all about!"
Al says the tuna are literally flying out of the water and they are quite a sight to see. Maybe he has captured one or two on camera and will post them when he gets time. Can't imagine either Al or Mack fishing for their dinner. Sounds like they are having a blast!

Hey There Guys,
The best way to get pictures of tuna is when you drag them up the side of the boat and ready to clean them and turn them into the finest fresh supper ever.

OK....this is the part of the trip I wish I was on..
Jim, you still have time to do some fair weather sailing in the BVI's.Just say the word and you can be picked up at the airport. Love to have you. And to Pat and Ted, Al and I have never fished in our lives, and what the hell does "ready to clean them" mean anyway? I like my fish wrapped in air vacuumed sealed plastic. This is the part of the trip I wish Jim was on too! :)
