We had the best sailling last night and
today during the trip so far! We have done 140nm for the last 24 hours.
Jess was really scared last night but I can only admire the courage she has
to push through the night! Awesome! Our first way point is in sight and we are
really pushing the bobbejaan to the limit to make up for the lost
time.
Marlin = 1 Johann = 0
I hooked a Marlin this morning and it jumped a
few times before it snapped the line like a twig! It was over before it even
started. I am licking my wounds but will fight back someday soon!
We are experiencing the strongest weather we have
had so far after leaving the gulf. At least we are going in the right direction.
If this was a monohull the ride would have been a lot worse than it is now.
This is a great boat!
We have seen a lot of garbage out here especially
styro-foam pieces, plastic bottles and a lot of planks. It is really shocking to
see how we are destroying our oceans which is the life of this planet.
Jessa is doing much better. She is finding her
sea legs (at Last!) She also keeps kicking my ass in scrabble. The score is
10-2! That damn "Q"!
