We were sitting in the cockpit enjoying the music and morning clouds when we saw a glass bulb off in the distance. I said, let's go look at it.  It turned out to be an old fashion looking, Thomas Edison style, 12 inch light bulb with interesting things growing on it. Not very interesting so we let it sink after taking some good pictures.  Within a boat length or two was another interesting object. At first we thought it was a fish sunning itself on the surface but it turned out to be a large plastic sphere with things growing on it. It broke in half when we approached it so Jared and Gautam thought it would make a good helmet. Pictures after we get home.

Earlier in the morning Gavin made bacon biscuits and gravy.
So now we are back to listening to music, watching the deep blue water go by.
Gautam thinks we are in the middle of a 20 mile circle and can't get out. As we look out at the horizon it is the same distance all around a flat circle.
Hopefully he is mistaken.

Yesterday we ran the water maker for 2 hours and replenished the large tank. We have water in plastic bottles and a second tank as back up.  We still have fresh food in the fridge and lots of frozen meat/chicken so if Gautam is correct we will be able to watch the round blue circle for a few weeks.
