Every day one of Andrea's first tasks is to throw
the nights haul of suicidal flying fish overboard. So far 22 fish have
boarded Anastasia. This morning she found two fish and one unidentifiable
blob on the deck. On closer inspection it turned out that one of the fish
hit the boom so hard that one of its eyes flew out of its socket and landed
several feet away on the deck. Sorry, we didn't take a picture for the
blog.
It has been another slow day and Andrea decided
that we might go faster if we increased our sail area, so she hung a load of
knickers out on the line. They don't seem to be catching much breeze, mind
you neither does the spinnaker in the background. |
