Good news, Jaime from ‘Bionic’ is feeling much better this morning after a good nights sleep and regular painkillers for kidney stones.

 

Sheila will stay on board ‘Bionic’ as the transfer yesterday was very tricky and so best not to attempt another one.

Miss Tippy have transferred a package of drugs over this morning to keep Jaime comfortable.

 

Gaultine 3 have reached the rendez vous point, they turned around and went over 100 miles out of their way, and are going to accompany ‘Bionic’ the rest of the way in case they need crew transferred.

 

Miss Tippy are going to bear away now and get some sea room so that Brian can get some rest and we are going to accompany Miss Tippy from behind to keep a watch out for them for the duration of the trip.

 

We are all in radio contact on a regular basis.

 

In the middle of all the arrangements this morning Miss Tippy reeled in a huge Marlin to the back of the boat that was as big as Annie, great excitement and photo shoot before they let it go !

 

Fantastic sunny day today with good winds, we are all settled into a routine and enjoying the journey !

 

I have spent this morning going through my cookery books to get ideas for the fresh tuna tonight and have come up with a recipe adaptation using ingredients we have on board.

Seared tuna steaks on a bed on warm cannellini beans, peppers, tomatoes and green beans with a balsamic dressing, let’s hope it tastes as good as it sounds !
