Between day 3 and 4 we crossed the tropic of cancer coming in to the tropics. At the same time we sighted more and more Portuguese Man o` Wars which is indeed a poisonous jellyfish. Moreover flying fishes was found on deck in the mornings,all of it a sign we are in the tropics. Day 4 Mercedes caught at Tuna allthough killing procedure was handed over to me. It became a lovely dinner as well as ceviche. While we were in our routines with 4 hour watches nights offered beautiful moonshine and dawn a magic sunrise. We started to come into the mood when you might as well just continue for another week. That of course because circumstances were almost ideal and no major issues with Dora Mac. In more demanding conditions sometimes all you wish is to make landfall and you sleep as much as possible to kill time.
