Log Entry: June 25
        
         We had a good day yesterday! The weather was overcast and there wasn't much
        wind, so we motor sailed most of the day which was OK. At the start of the night,
        we had a front pass with a wind shift and an increase to 20 kts. The wind didn't
        hold long unfortunately because we need the wind to stay ahead of the pack!
         Stress management for married sailors is don't!!  Have you ever tried setting
        three sails in 15 kts of wind in a cramped cockpit with lines, cushions and junk all
        over the place in the middle of a very dark humid night?  Faith and I continue to
        work together (not always quietly) to try and manage. 
         Boundless and care for each other as well. We continue to learn what
        togetherness, friendship and love is really all about. We may even survive!
         After the front passed,  we had a couple of squalls and a couple of wind
        shifts...sails set, sails furled, sails trimmed, sails slacked. We can't wait to sail in
        the trade winds again! We passed a merchant vessel this morning looking for
        hydraulic oil. His hydraulic systems were out. That probably means he doesn't have
        steering as well as many control systems on board. Sailing is really fun......
         I saw a vertical rainbow this morning! It went from the sea to a cloud overhead.
        All of a sudden it passed through the cloud and went straight to the heavens! Now
        I know how Jack felt!
         We have been motoring for almost two straight days now, with a few breaks for
        squalls and wind shifts. The seas have remained relatively flat with some large
        rollers, but it has been comfortable so far. We are already looking forward to our
        arrival in Portugal. We are trying to guess when we will arrive and have a real
        shower again.
