Ship's Log:
An uneventful day motoring in calm weather. No fish,but a turtle sighting every 5-10 mins. These are the Green Back turtles that grow up to over 3ī across the back. They are everywhere out here. We have to be extra careful while steering so as not to run them over. Most are about 2.5-3ī in diameter.
Weather very hot today so a swim stop after lunch went over well. Our course will take us past the Mexican/Guatemalan border in 2 hrs. At present we are about 40 miles off the coast.
