Skyelark of London - Day 14
Two weeks done now, food running low, two cases of scurvy, weevils in the
porridge, insubordination, an ugly incident concerning ownership of the last
digestive biscuit- all going well really.
Wind picked up early morning to 25 knots or so - boat going well with some
surfing in double figures.
Fishing is not going so well - lost two good fish to gear failure today, and
worse lost two more lures.
A gannet hunted beside the boat most of the day, we reckon it was after the
flying fish that go airborne as the boat passes.
Spoke to a French yacht - Pes Keval - last night who passed within a mile of
us. Not an ARC boat, he was heading for Guadaloupe . We passed on some
weather info to him and left him in our wake - left me with a passing fancy
for a croissant.
