Hello. This is the first message from the boat. I had my first night watch from 2:00 to 5:00. Helpfully, it was very windy (25 knots), so the main sail block broke and the two other guys were up to fix it, so I had company for a while ;) ... The next hour, I was alone in the dark, looking for tiny lights at the horizon (is this one red or green?)...amazing.
Bonjour. Voici le premier message du bateau. J’ai fait mon premier quart de nuit de 2:00 à 5:00 heure. Heureusement, il y avait beaucoup de vent (25 nœuds ) alors la poulie de la grand voile s’est cassée et les 2 autres matelots se sont réveillés pour réparer. Comme ça, j’ai eu de la compagnie pour un moment ...Pendant la dernière heure, j’étais seul dans le noir, scrutant l’horizon pour les feux des autres bateaux (est ce une lumière rouge ou verte ?) ... extra ordinaire.

Jason here. I’ve decided to write the daily fishing report as a way of
organizing my thoughts.
Fishing Report #1
40°25.674’N 70°58.798’W
1426hrs
My morning watch begins at 0730, maybe a little late to get the line
out, green and yellow jelly head on the end of it. The rod is strapped
to the starboard quarter rail with Velcro straps and backed up by a
safety strap so that if it goes in the water, at least I won’t lose the
whole rig. Making bubbles, swimming just like the good people at
Capitol said it would, and so I am a fishing. Trim the sails. Some
orange juice. My girlfriend is very beautiful, I think. The sun is
trying to poke out of the sky. Come on, Sun! Blogging. She brought me a big bag of leftovers from the restaurant and I heated up some Salmon cakes for the guys last night. Chocolate pudding or some sort of mousse as well. Aluminum rammikins and a raspberry on top. Magic. It’s still very grey and damp outside. My 1500-1730 watch begins in fifteen minutes. I’m going to change the green jellyhead for something else. I don’t know which one yet and I just realized I won’t be able to tell you since I threw away all the packages and the jellyheads are the only lures I remember the name of . I’ll try to describe them the best I can when I figure out what hey’re like. More to come. End of fishing report #1.

WHAT ? !!!
Where the hell are these guys going?
Tell me more!
Background....please...
As if y'all didn't have enough to do? I'm impressed!
Love, Lee :-)
When will you catch the grander?
Can you watch your reflection in the swells of the sea as you pull up the gils? Or do the ripples from the drops of blood wash that away?
I love you.
Good voyage too you all.
Love, haley
