Moving Right Along

Wonderful day of sailing wing on wing in 15-20 knots SSW.  Fingers crossed for it to carry on for a couple of days.  Plastic Debris survey is showing less objects but not sure if it is an anomaly or the weather or??  Forgot to mention that yesterday we came across most of a refrigerator that had been at sea for some time.  It was floating on its side with the door missing, quite rusty and lots of gooseneck barnacles on the bottom side.  The curious thing was there were three recently dead fish inside.  They looked like bait and all we could figure is they were part of the crowd living in the shadows under this fridge and some thing came along and spooked them, they jumped and oh crap, they landed in the inside.  Stories are easy to come by with all the spare time out here, who really knows.  Came across the Zim San Francisco (800 ft container ship) this morning enroute from Oakland(? as AIS only gives destination) to Japan.  We are all doing well, fixing last of mahi with some lime and garlic along with John's Japanese curry and long grain white rice for dinner.  Some more black footed albatrosses and one white tailed tropic bird today. Cheers, Al
