Why Not - ( Richard Anthony )

It’s now 16:10 on Saturday 28th.

 

Despite a night of very little wind, we experimented with various sail options and managed around 4-5 knots. This morning the wind has picked up to around 15 knots and we’ve been cruising along all day with the cruising chute and main up, and reached up to 9 knots at times. The cruising chute has been flying a lot better than two days ago, with slightly more manageable winds and less rolling from the waves.

 

In other news, it’s been Keith and Ray’s turn to catch a fish – this morning Keith caught a 4 lb. mahi mahi (compared to Charlie’s 5 lb.), and 10 minutes ago Ray caught a 9 lb. mahi mahi (compared to Charlie’s second which was 25 lb. – unlucky mate). The latter fish is now getting prepped for dinner.

 

We’ve also witnessed an army of flying fish shoot past us on a couple occasions.

 

That’s all for now folks!
