Day 3 Return Trip Evening report

Calming down somewhat this evening, winds 16 out of the east, we shook out both reefs, still clipping along at 8 knots to the north.  Judy made Matt's tuna, seaweed and whole grains tonight.  Matt also broke out the ipad for some stargazing.  We could see Mars and Saturn near each other, Altair (Hi Paul and Suzette)and lots other stars.  Pretty amazing app for us amateurs.  Just starting to see some more bits of plastic, line and styrofoam.  It could be the calmer waters allow for more sightings but in any case there is something at least for John to put down in his Marine debris survey report.  Hope all is well, Al
