We did catch a fish this morning, a long, thin one that we could not identify. As it looked pretty unattractive and did not have much meet on it, we threw it back. Will Poseidon punish us for our ungrateful attitude and send us no more?
Life on board goes on as you would expect. The Skipper walks the decks twice a day, checking the rigging etc. and throwing the day's quota of flying fish back int the sea. He has done the extra hour on the helm to cover the 25 hour day resulting from changing the clocks. Those who wear them are on their third Scopoderm patch, all are feeling well, vegetables have had their daily check for health and menus have been planned for the day by the cooks.
We are still not transmitting well enough on the SSB to participate in the roll calls and radio checks, but Peter on Carango has a plan for trying specifically to contact us tomorrow.
Keeping our fingers crossed that all is well at home.
