Purrr-fect - Fish on

On the table that is. More about that in a second.

A few of the rough nights we started thinking what are we doing here. Today we know why. It was a great day. It started with a dolphin show at sunrise. We set the sails to wing and wing (know as goosewing by the Brits here) and had a beautiful down wind sail, with hardly touching the sail, for 15 hours. Clear and partly sunny. And we are rapidly closing on the Azores. As I write this we only have 120 miles to go and should be in late Tuesday evening.

Then as Linda was starting to prep a spaghetti dinner, the reel starting singing. We quickly improved our fishing score to Fish 2 (lost lures); Purrrfect 1, as we landed a nice size Tuna. Jim cooked some immediately with his own blend of spices, etc. It was great and we almost filled our small freezer compartment with enough for several more meals.

Next communication from Horta. We are looking forward to "Land Ahoy"
