Graptolite - 2140 Miles Out



08:59.58S 124:19.02W Easter Monday PM

We had a 5lb dorado for lunch today. It's a much nicer fish than those bloody tuna. The fillets were lightly fried in butter with a little lime juice and smoked paprika and served over rice. Rick Stein, if you are reading this, you can include this recipe in your next book if you want.

Guessing from the position reports, I think we got within about 17 miles of 'Northern Sky' today but no sighting and no VHF radio contact. Even so, people, and even people we know, that are just over the horizon counts as a party out here.

As we are being rolled around quite a bit, sleeping is not usually the deeply refreshing experience it might be but it does mean that napping at other off-watch times is very easy. This slightly sleepy state seems to make time pass very quickly. Too little sleep can also make you psychotic but I'm keeping my eye on the other six crew for signs.
