Day 4, Coast of Colombia

Flying Fish at the Helm
In the blackness of night, a flying fish hit the bimini and landed in my lap. With no moon to judge sky from sea, and only the dim lights of the instruments to light the periphery, the little devil freaked me out. I jumped up, startled, and Mike was terrified that something had gone terribly wrong. When I pointed out the pencil-sized monster that had so terrified me, we had a good chuckle. In the fresh light of the morning, we discovered 19 of the little critters scattered about the decks.
