On a 36 footer its kind of hard to fit more crew, we only a certain select few who we felt would work well with us. Otherwise we've already sailed 30k+ miles together just the two of us so we are pretty used to it

Wahoo is one of the best fish for fish tacos and dishes not normally used with fish. Kung Pao Ono (wahoo) was one of my favorites in Hawaii. It is firm flesh and not fishy when fresh. Congrats on a great catch and awesome photography.

Great Job Bill. You are a all around handy man.works on the boat, cooking, dose dishes,and more. I'm sure Grace thinks your a keeper Bill ! I have found simple cooking is the best. then you get the real taste of the meat/fish. Love veggies. and they will help making you feel better. just to get some fresh food in your body. Grace it doesn't take much for a gem to find you these days it's been a ruff 2 years. . Your body isn't back up to par yet! and like a very good wife you shared it with your hubby Bill.😆 Grace your hair is getting long again. Please stay safe (I know you will) But I'm a Mom. I worry about you to. that's my job to worry about people younger then me.

So glad you 2 are safe touring around. How do you travel with just the 2 of you? Are you taking shifts for night watch? The 🎣 🐟 looked yummy😋. Thinking how you could get sick in the middle of nowhere. COVID and some gems have an incubation of 2-18 days. Wondering if anything was the supplies and you touched it later. Crazy catching a cold in the middle of the ocean. Video ideas: how do you feel when leaving, knowing you are going where there is limited help in the middle of no where? Or what is your safety system, buddy boat, do you see any big boats? Can't wait to see your exploration videos. Congratulations on your crossing. Blessings of Good health and joyful times ahead! ⛵

Hang on Bill! Looks like you got a big one!!😃 Filleying that fish in the cockpit seemed one hell of a challenge but you guys banged it out. Good job! Clean up was probably interesting. Now to get across that damn ITCZ, I don't blame you for your concerns. Conflicting ocean currents and intermittent weather patterns are never a good combination, just something to get thru. Grace, how do you catch a cold in the middle of the ocean? You need to be on a baseball team, you catch everything 😂Great stuff guys!! Be well !!

I think the doldrums are outside the itcz, north and south. On the northern side they were called the horse latitudes by the early European explorers as they were becalmed and ended up tossing out the horses to lighten the load to try and keep moving north out of the trades, above the itcz.

Truly amazing the specific virus could lay dormant for 10-12 days on an isolated boat them attack you. That has to be the longest incubation time I have heard of. Is it possible it could have harbored on an individual item with condition stable enough to keep it alive then you guys touch it? I heard 3-5 days is typical incubation period for a virus?

It's a bit of luck honestly. During the day we can sometime spot objects in the waves but at night its impossible. Forward scan is more for navigation of uncharted lands. It pickup depth changes ahead of the boat not really objects
