Caribbean Sea, 296NM W of Prickly Bay
Around sunset we got a visitor - a brown noddy flew over, and after a few attempts managed to land on our sprayhood. There it stayed, not particularly interested in our comings and goings. And then left a bit after sunrise.
Today we’ve had a pretty fast ride. The wind angle is not perfect for our route, and so we’re getting pushed a bit further north than planned. But that’s fine, it is anyway better to give Venezuela a wide berth.
The afternoon was pretty much perfect ocean sailing. Windvane steered happily on its own, and the boat ventured further west on a deep blue sea. And apart from some short drizzles, the sun has been shining, and the crew has managed to sleep.

Tern is relocating again. Circling to find a new seat. It's a dishy bird again. So cool to see the careful and skillful manouvering.
