Calling all stations, calling all stations, this is yacht Elixir, yacht Elixir. General warning to all fish in the area, we are a fish magnet, we are a fish magnet. Calling all stations, yacht Elixir is a fish magnet! Well we have well and truely broken our fishing duct, landing 2 Dorado, each around 50 - 60 cm and then a flying fish heard that we treat the fish so well on board that he through himself at the skipper's feet onto the foredeck. One of the Dorado produced 4 rather fine fillets for four, and the second shall become either fishy tortilla wraps or a fishy salsa with pasta, to represent the spanish routes to the trip. 
 
The hours of daylight have remained the same, but they have shifted forwards. Day breaks at around 8 am and stays with us until about 8 pm. Might be time to adjust our clocks for the first time soon!
 
Our master Irish baker continues to produce fantastic bread and we are enjoying a loaf with Elixir, etched into the top of it today.
 
The weather is hot and the wind is blowing well in a perfect direction.
 
Elixir continues to look after us excellently!
