Becalmed and bumped

Here is where they are right now:

They don't have much wind and have been motoring more than they like. They're about to cut back on that, so they'll slow down a bunch. Up til now, though, they've been making excellent time, as you can see. Here's hoping the wind picks up (but not too much!) soon. Frank says the Gulf is like a lake, and it's really hot out there.

Their only bit of excitement was a sudden bump in the night. They ran around in a panic for a while, looking for the hole in the hull, before they figured out that a clumsy dolphin (part of a visiting pod) had run right into them.
