Day 139 March 24 2013 Monday

Good morning! Sailing to Spanish Wells again today. the weather is beautiful and sunny the water is calm with winds at around 7-10 knots. Steve and I put the spinnaker out today due to decreased winds and we are going downwind. After we figured it out the sail was working wonderful it took the wind and increased our speed to 6-7 knots whoo hoo! It looks pretty too. We flew it as long as we could until winds picked up and we had to go back to headsail and motor. Motor because the wind was still not strong enough to make good time. We took turns steering and had a great time. I had to go out to the bough to fix a piece on the spinnaker and was blown around, glad i was holding on!! There were 2 dolphins hanging with us so i felt good! Dolphins are a good sign I hear. We had to leave the shallow banks and go into the ocean to make it to Spanish Wells for our anchorage. We enjoyed the sail with the winds the beautiful weather and the boat just sailing along. We made it to an anchorage outside the island after dark and anchored out. We are getting good at anchoring, whew! that is a good thing. We fell asleep under the starry sky and peaceful waves lulling us to sleep. Goodnight everyone!
