Log Entry: June 26
        
         We actually sailed for a few hours on Monday. It was a treat! The winds did
        remain fickle though right through the day. Towards nightfall, we were again
        overtaken by a large squall. There was enough wind to sail so it wasn't all bad but
        it certainly did rain. It passed just before dark. The night started with the blinding
        light of silver from the moon and more stars than anybody could count.  The clarity
        was amazing!  This led to another light show. There were brilliant flashes that lit
        up our world and crashes like cannons.  
         The lightning and some rain was with us for over four hours.  By the time it
        ended, far in front of us the flashes still lit up the skies but there wasn't a whisper
        of sound. Then all was clear again! A beautiful morning with clear skies and only
        a light breeze from the West. Oh well, another day of motoring. The seas are still
        relatively flat but we are rolling a bit because of the direction. Not bad!
         Would you believe we still haven't caught a fish except for the marlin. We want
        a tuna! We have tried every lure in the book and today Kenny put a couple on
        together because nothing else seems to work. Actually I don't feel too bad because
        there weren't many fish caught by the whole group. One boat caught a large tuna
        and shared it with a passing freighter. Another caught a smaller tuna and made
        sushi which they shared with another boat that happened to be close by. It seems
        that all of our friends in the Caribbean are also catching fish (Feisty, Endless
        Summer, and many others). We still have a few miles to go so maybe the big one
        is still waiting.
         We have passed the halfway point with using about half of our fuel. We still
        need some wind to get to Portugal  (not too much though).
