The EJ's Voyage

Sunny morning, 15 kts of wind true, 10/11kts on deck. We are sailing along at 6.5kts.
 
The spinnaker went up this morning but that was short lived. It ripped along the seam! The story repeats itself and it seems that it will never survive an ocean passage.
 
The fish seem to enjoy our lures and hooks because they have the bad habit of taking everything away. Mike and Holger down to fabricate his own lures and hooks with wood and pieces of colourful fabrics, and very thick wire. They are very cute. They even have eyes! Time will tell if they work!
 
Perhaps fish on the menu tonight? Otherwise it will be beef mince...
 
We should be half way through to the Marquises tonight. This is a long passage!
 
All is well
 
Would love to hear from all of you!
 
Love
