Happy Boxing Day!!! Day 2, and we are still making above Sandpiper average speed. So moral is high. The ride is comfortable. The weather still a bit cold with overcast skies, but no rain.

Yesterday we busted out our 'Sensei' Christmas CD's and had a most memorable Christmas at sea.

We had one vessel on the horizon early this morning around 2am. And we had a pilot whale show this afternoon.

More tomorrow,
Amy and Tom
