Doldrums

The wind gradually went calm during the night. Now we are motoring south. We should get some wind tomorrow and 15 kts by Friday. We have plenty of fuel onboard which I brought for a calm like this. We use 8 gallons/day. We have about 35 gallons left. I don't have anything to repair today so maybe I will get a chance to read or do a little laundry. There is a lot of life out here. There are always a few birds around. We see malolo everywhere. We saw a large group of dolphins. I saw a huge splash which
I think was a marlin, aside from the one on my fishing line. I will never forget the sight of that marlin thrashing and jumping at the end of my line. Amazing power and strength. So the doldrums aren't so bad as long as the fuel holds out.
