Jasmine - Day 10
--Big news, this morning early ,before eight Nick caught a fish ,a dorado ,its called a mahi mahi in the caribbean ,it weighed 3 kilos. it will make an excellent dinner. We put the line out again immediately but no success since. It would be great to have one or two in the fridge.Now that we are nearing the mid atlantic ridge we expect the fishing to improve .All the guides to fishing on the ARC suggest this.
Later we were lucky to see a seabird called a Masked Booby fishing near the boat. It is a relative of the gannet and fishes by diving from a height into the waves.Its prey is flying fish.
We have wind all day since 0200, sometimes more than required but wind is wind even though its blowing from the west force 4 .
We are beating into it and making good progress.
