\nComments: I tacked to port at 14:30 and will head due W to IFN. Sunset is at 17:30 at 32.5W (Ilha de Fernando de Noronha). At 29.25W it should be at 17:17, but the sun went down behind clouds. The brown noodies were back after dark. I tried to shoos them away, but they were tenacious (they just stood on the stick I was using and flew back to their perch when I stopped waving it) and I was outnumbered. They were as loud as last night. They have two distinctive calls \u2026 male and female? I downloaded fresh data at 18:00. I do not see any hazardous traffic tonight. I went to sleep at 18:30 with a 2h alarm. At 3:00 a ship passed 4 nm behind me. When I went to the cockpit I saw it directly beneath the southern cross. The birds were still partying. I imagined them gathering in my boat for a rare conference and having a lot of news to share. I had to put a pillow over my head when I returned to the berth. I slept very deeply and woke at 4:55. Sunrise is at 5:12 at 32.5W (Ilha de Fernando de Noronha). At 30.25W it should be at 5:03. The sun came up behind a distant cloud bank but raised above it at 5:08. I downloaded data at 5:15. I will encounter a couple of ships today. Moana should arrive at IFN (120 nm away) late today, I will arrive tomorrow late morning, and Oda will arrive tomorrow night. I checked the progress of the 5.80 racers and it looks like they will arrive at Recife in 11-12 days. I finished the leftover Chicken Taco Soup yesterday \u2026 lasted three days. Today I am baking the ham and serving in with canned candied yams and canned green beans that I am dressing up in mustard. There will be enough to have this meal twice and enough ham for a week. I fell asleep at 10:00 for a rest and woke up at 11:45 with a tanker passing 1.5 nm off my bow. It arrived an hour earlier than I expected. The distance sailed towards IFN in the last 24h was 196-90=106 nm. The total distance sailed was 21452-21292=160 nm (160\/24=6.7 kt avg).<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
