We are still having 25 to 30 knots with gust as high as 38 knots. We have been rocking & rolling for days now. Jim is under the weather which made long shifts for the rest of us. Our one solar panel arm broke two days ago. So, now that is racket straped on. Hopefully it will last for us. Last night we almost lost our bladder tank on deck that has 40 gallons of diesel. Thank god Paul caught it in time since it is still full. We are still having fun and eating well!

Well we have had a bumpy trip so far and it looks like it is going to continue for a while. The first day out we saw lots of dolphins! We entered the gulf stream sunday morning and we got welcomed with a wave that wanted to come right into the cockpit. We made it out of the gulf stream last night, however an eddy was trying to keep us in. This morning is not too bad. We have steady 20-25 knot winds with gust to 30 and 9 to 11 foot seas. The main thing we are working on right now is trying to get as much rest as possibly. We are all in good spirits and are looking forward to lighter winds.

Moonshadow crew is ready for the Halloween tonight.  We went to see Barefoot Davis at Roger Browns.  We had a great time with lots of laughs and some dancing too.  The weather window looks like we are going to leaving on Saturday.  So, today was very busy doing laundry and last minute provisioning.  We decided to walk to the grocery store, which was a mile and half.  Once we were done shopping we tried to get a cab.  However, no luck.  So, we started walking back.  We did manage to find a taxi as we were walking, which was great because our hands were starting to hurt.  We will see what tomorrow brings.
