Next Step - Thursday 28th November 2019

Woke up today to very little wind so it's another day of motoring to get further South to pick up the Trades. During the night the yachts around us disappeared but we did see one cargo ship on the AIS about 16 nautical miles behind us.
This morning the Head of Catering has given us permission to fish..yippee! so at 1105 the first fishing line went in the water, here's hoping we catch a nice fish. At last we have seen a Dolphin and flying fish as well as a number of what I think were Storm Petrel's.
As we had hot water from the engine running everyone took the opportunity to have a shower. Shortly after we ran the water maker for the first time on the trip.. Oh dear, we have a water leak from one of the high pressure units which we will have to sort in St Lucia. We did manage to fill the water tank with water maker water so all is good.
It has been a good day apart from our failure to catch a fish…never mind there is plenty of time to hopefully catch something before we get to the Caribbean. Tonight David is cooking west country cider chicken, what a treat…we certainly will not starve on this trip! As we go into the night we still do no not have much wind...
