         We are now into our 3rd day in the ocean. It will probably be 4-5 more days till
        we reach Bermuda. The days and nights are quiet and peaceful.  We really forget
        how dark it is on the open ocean with nothing around for many miles. The stars are
        incredible...you see more stars than you could possibly imagine. The moon was just
        past full so it rose a little late but it brought with it a very nice light to see our way.
         The sounds on a boat moving through the water at about 7-8kts are very nice. 
        With no engine you hear the waves rolling off of the bow as it slices the water. You
        hear the water rolling down the sides as though it were boiling and you can watch
        it disappear in our wake. The boat rocks and rolls a bit, but since the winds were
        light we had very little movement for an open ocean. We have actually experienced
        anchorages that were rolling more then we have been for the last couple of nights.
        Sleeping is still tough at first. The sails and rigging are always moving. There are
        other people on watch right above your head and things always go bang in the
        night. Sea sickness was not  a problem because of the light air and 3-5 ft seas.
         We stayed with the front pack of boats for a while even though the winds
        continue to decrease. The morning of the second day we set the spinnaker, but it
        didn't help much. We need a reasonable breeze for Boundless to shine!
         At about 8:00 we started the engine as our boat speed was down to 2-3kts. We
        will be penalized for running the engine, but I would rather get to Bermuda with
        a couple of days to rest before we start for the Azores. We were doing well even
        with the light air. We did 163 miles the first day and 135  miles the second. With
        950 miles to Bermuda,  it will take us close to a week if the winds hold.
         This morning we had two flying fish on board. Not big enough to eat, but they
        were neat to see up close. Everybody is doing well and catching up on their sleep
        during the day. We have been fishing for two days with not even a bite. Faith has
        some nice weather to learn, once again, how to cook on/in a moving platform. It
        is tricky and tough. The meals have surprised everybody...except me.  They have
        been great! Tonight it is baked chicken, baked potatoes and broccoli and freshly
        baked bread. We all help her on occasion, but it is still the toughest job on board
        during a passage.  Anybody want a job on our next passage? While the trip is slow,
        the conditions have been great!   Stay in touch!
