Continue our sail to Cape Verde to carry out sail repair, seems to be taking forever as we are all keen to get back on track and head for St Lucia.
Our day was made a little brighter when we spotted flying fish several times skimming the water and flying what seemed like 30 -40 meters.
We had 2 land on the deck which we found amusing as Alan has been fishing with no success and now they are jumping onto the boat.
Alan is currently more likely to catch a cold than a fish.
Approx 100 miles until Cape Verde which should mean we arrive early afternoon tomorrow. We are hoping for quick turnaround and get on our way.
Self praise is not praise but I was proud of my home made cottage pie this evening which went down well with everyone and the dish was scraped clean.
Izzy is treating us all to one of her dishes tomorrow evening and dinner round the table is becoming the highlight of the day.
