Nice quiet morning on deck adjusting course and checking for chafe. Found a small, 4-inch squid in his cloak with large marble eyes and tenticled mustache on the cabin sole. (on the inside!) Must have come through the hatch.
Last night while I was checking things on deck, I saw a school of dolphin in the moonlight. They were charging through the waves alongside the boat and then played for a while in West Wind II’s wake.

There is always a force of nature showing itself around the boat or in the sky. I feel so lucky to be able to see it and I often wonder what I’m
not seeing.

Dear Glenn,
When you get gifts from the sea, like the squid, do you cook them up? What is your galley kitchen like; special tools, favourite dishes, celebration dinners?
Your story reminds me of a my wonderful honeymoon in Greece, eating plates of fresh squid. Yum.
