Revenge of the Pepperoni Pizza! and the USCG!

This is Jody again...and I would just like to add that while I enjoyed my pepperoni pizza the first time,....it did not taste so good when I was feeding the fishies around 4:30 AM on my second watch!! I think I will skip breakfast this morning!! We had a mostly uneventful night...I don't think anyone else was afflicted by pizza revenge or at least no one else will admit to it. It is 9:30 or so and we are steaming along. I was awoken about 25 minutes or so ago as our rpm's were eased down and boat speed dropped off. After a few minutes when nothing changed I crawled out of my bunk (reluctantly) and into my foulies to see four Iowa residents in a US Coast Guard panga to our right!! After playing 50 questions with Robin about who owned the boat and where we were headed etc. They agreed to let us head on to San Diego. It truly was comedy the back and forth shouting of all the information as this poor sopping wet 19 year old struggled to write it down on a soggy piece of official paper blowing in the wind! In the end we were not boarded, thank god, because I think that thing would have put a hole in this boat and off we go on a heading of 309 and almost 9 knots in relatively flat water on to our next stop Turtle Bay!
Current position 26 00.194N / 113 17.009W

Hasta pronto!!
