Sailed on a friday, cold early morning,averaging 20kts + southwest heading large confused seas, i was very cold light rain first nights i slept with all my clothes on, deck shoes,lee cloth over me No heater, we sailed on this heading for about 100 miles. One night on my watch cold and pissed something hit the main sail i look up it starts sliding down it lands on my chest, i gasp for it, it's a very small black bird with web feet it fits in my palm i take inside,still i'm very cold then we tacked over to starboard light rain stopped, weather clearing up sailboat finds groove, day by day temps are raising, winds is steady 10 to 15 kts. Days and nights are crystal clear. bird leaves.
