Day #25: A sound you don't want to hear at sea is a ship sounding its whistle five times in a row--it's the international danger signal. Just after dawn this morning we got to hear the danger signal not once but four times. A sailboat had anchored in a channel that a tugboat with a tow was trying to navigate. It was nice to be a spectator for this event because the last time I heard five whistles was in San Diego harbor when an aircraft carrier snuck up behind me...
We actually got Nellie's engine a little warm today as we moved a whole 14nm to Warderick Wells Cay. The north mooring is very popular and we've managed to snag a spot. 477nm under the keel thus far. DBH
