November 26th
Fish Count “0”; Lures Lost “3” – but we have plenty left that we bought in Las Palmas
Spinaker up,- trim, hold, ease, trim, hold, ease all day long. But that spinnaker is helping make great progress,
Is that a fish?, Yes its a flying fish, well spotted Simon. Two Dolphins sighted by the crew on watch (Susie, James, Regan, Dal and Mark)
For the astronomers amongst you, all four moons of Jupiter spotted last night.
The temperature is increasing as we go further South, and the sea state is getting calmer, the boat is not bouncing around as much.
Yesterdays menu was Fajhitis, salad and cheese – prepared by Susie, Regan and Roy – all the crew enjoyed Awesome.
Wait! Wait!, is that the fishing reel I hear being wound in, NO! Its the spinnaker winch.
All crew partied like “1999”
November 25th
Fish Count “0”; Lines lost “2”
Its day 3 and fishing remains our challenge in turbulent seas, no good news so far. Are there any fish in the Ocean?
Progress is good with winds gusting from 13 to 30 knots. Gybed this morning to remain on our course, goosewinging.
All crew are upbeat about our progress, ticking off the miles, with smiles on their faces.
No fish, however an American football was sighted swimming off the starboard bow.
Roys cooking is awesome, the chilli was to die for and an excellent risotto.
Still problems with Generator start, continue to jump start.
Boats rocking and rolling due to sea state, only one fell out of bunk so far, he’s ok.
Fish count still “0”
