Yesterday, just as we exit the Gulf stream, we set the lure in the water. Soon after the first Mahi-Mahi
offered himself to Blue Note.
Therefore today we will have our first lunch with Mahi-Mahi served with rice and Pinot Grigio.
The last 24 hours have been a continuous motor-sailing, since winds have been absent during the night and still very weak (5 kts)
and variable during the day.
Forecast are for winds to come from the East during the night and build by tomorrow to a comfortable 10-15 kts.
