Atlantic Ocean
 
Becalmed - the reprise
 
After a day of bobbing in the Atlantic - we had a nice bit of breeze late yesterday that took us into the night.  It stopped.  And again we are bobbing.  We actually have started aiming for the squalls as we know there is a little bit of wind in them (caused by the cooling of air from the descending rain). 
 
On a bright note - we were able to throw all caution to the wind (or lack there of) and jump off the boat into the refreshing bath water of the Atlantic.  The water was perfect!  And no one was eaten by a shark.
 
Apparently, the crew has become restless and has started a mustache growing contest.  It isn't pretty...
 
Thankfully, today is Thanksgiving (excuse the pun).  So we at least have dinner to look forward to.  Well, sort of.  We have been holding out all day for the elusive Dorado to strike at one of our two fishing lines.  So far - no luck.  Our back up plan is stuffed chicken breasts (we couldn't fit a turkey in our freezer), sliced potatoes, and carrots.  Shawn typically likes black olives for turkey day (yes, one for each finger) however we neglected to buy olives.  Hopefully, pickles will do in a crunch.  I am just excited to have one last meal with real produce as we officially move to canned and dried goods tomorrow.
 
Of course Shawn and I have our Thanksgiving tradition of watching "Home for the Holidays."  This tradition will of course continue as we show the film today/early evening for all the crew to enjoy, hopefully with a belly full of fish.
 
Happy Thanksgiving all!
