Other boats may be motoring, the ones indicated mentioned it.
Held net on SSB 4A. Very bad local noise on 8A due to battery charging while motoring. Noise OK on 4A, and good signals from fleet.
Relaxed day aboard VALIS, but I’m getting tired of motoring! We should see wind tomorrow, and fuel consumption isn’t too bad. Lots of sun. High clouds on the horizon might bring wind. More debris than on previous trips, but mostly small plastic junk, with some large floats and the occasional line or net. Dolphins riding on our bow last night.
