Sunrise

I always anticipate the sunrise while at sea; perhaps because it is always the same but ever different. This morning the sun just happened to come up behind a distant towering cumulus cloud. The sun made the edges of the curving cloud glow at first and then two glowing orbs appeared, making the it appear like a possessed grinch who was tilting his head as he affixed you with a crazed stare.

We had a pleasant night with bright moon and puffy white clouds early on that gave way to three small squalls which left behind warmish soft tradewinds. The water temperature is 85!

Today will be bread baking day once again which will complement a left over, left over, sumptuous chili and beans.

At 5/30/2012 and 18:56 UTC (GMT) our position was: 04°21.46'S / 172°37.34'E.
We were traveling 173T degrees true at 3.9 knots.
