Oh boy its a long haul Barbados bound, although we are knocking off the
miles we are about 1/6th of the way, its still a long way to go yet. We are
having a very bumpy ride with this swell which is on our stern since we turned a
little.
There are lots of flying fish about, one must have
hit the Vane for Vera (Hydravane) and left bits behind and 3 very small
tiddlers were found on the deck.
As its Sunday roast chicken and vegetables for
dinner later.
So far the boys hadn't caught any fish, although
today both lines went noisy, wow so much excitement both of them on the stern
reeling in, it turned out both lines wrapped around each other.
As I write this the line screamed and now we have
what Don calls a dorada about 18 " long weighing 2 or 3 kilos, yellow and black
but its not like the ones they call dorada in Spain. The photo will have to wait
until we have internet.
Our speed is very changeable 4.5 to 7.5 as is the
wind 13 to 27 knots now but earlier we were flying and reached 9
knots.
The weather is cloudy and we are told it will be
clearing from 35W by our weatherman John (thanks John but please send us a
flatter sea)
However the forecasts so far say the winds are 15 /
20 we have 17 -30 at times.
Not too much to say really except we are
all ok.
