July 20, 2018. We are racing North even though our destination is East. Why? To stay with the winds!
A massive high pressure is east of us and we don’t want to enter it, so we are trying to sail around it, but this thing is huge and moving towards us?
Will we make it out of its path before it covers us? Only time will tell.
In the meantime, we are keeping our fishing gear inside and out of the water because Portuguese Man-O-War are everywhere out here.
Their tentacles stretch out around 100 feet and if one gets snagged on our fishing line, I would be in a lot of pain when I reel in the line.
Yes, even severed from the colony or animal (their exact classification is still being debated) the stingers will still sting and cause extreme pain! To avoid this displeasure, we simply resist the urge to fish.
