Day 11 Evening

Day turned out better than expected.  The fog burned off early and a little wind has been with us ever since.  We've been averaging about 5 knots sailing with the bird kite once again.  We stopped numerous times to investigate glass balls and debris.  Judy again found another large glass ball with net.  That makes three, 2 with nets, that we think ties us with Medusa as temporary leaders in the glass ball division.  We were able to check out some of the timbers and they are all milled lumber ranging from 4x8 to 8x16, up to 16 ft long, all covered in goosenecks, pretty conclusive to us as tsunami debris but who knows for sure.  We did pick up one piece about 8 ft long, 1 5/8" square with stainless nails on one side that appeared to be Weyerhauser parallam or equivalent.  Also saw a possible tatami mat, but it turned out to some kind of synthetic that we took pictures of.  We went for another group swim and had a huge plate of mahi nachos, with black beans, tomatoes and queso grilled under the broiler thanks to Judy.  All the talk was where is the cold cerveza?  Cheers, Al
