Surf Dog at the helm!!!!

..Day 7 Continued
Surf Dog (the dog with a blog) came out to help us on this journey; he is here to tell everyone to read about the plastic problem. This picture shows Surf Dog helping the Alguita crew scientists Christiana and Nicole, learn the tricks of reading the charts and gauges…he is a very smart dog. Check out his website

This reminds me to say MAHALO to all the people who are making this happen for me. First and foremost I want to thank my wife Jamie; she is the one making this blog happen. She is also catching my spelling and grammar errors…what can I say, never was my strong suit. Joe Green at Surf and Sea, Mr. & Mrs. Fred Stalder, Chef Duff and the gang at Charm City Cakes, Richard Cunningham and everyone who is still spreading the word and keeping this topic going…THANK YOU…Shaka Doug, Mark Fraser…I could go on and on.
So we are flyin the Spinnaker now, have been for most of the day. Nice looking kite I must say. This makes pulling watch a bit more mind consuming. Gives you something to do during the watches besides look at the ocean and radar!
I just turned down the background music with the hopes of getting some better conversation audio….pretty tough to do on this boat. Now that I have done that, no one is talking. Isn't that always the way!
Jeff and Charlie are discussing whether or not to leave the “Chute” up…that’s the spinnaker. I think we are going to double up on watch duty and keep the kite flying!!! Yippee!
Trades have picked up nicely for us now…just wish that was 6 days ago. At least now we are heading 255 Deg, right toward our target area. Let’s see what tomorrow brings.
