An easy night was spent on Fenella as we work our
way in an ESE direction. The wind has so far held up and we have had 15-25kn of
breeze in the right direction. It is becoming apparent that we are one of the
most southerly boats and we shall see how this plays out over the next few days.
Fishing lines were put out this morning by a
certain sneaky individual, after it had been decided yesterday that it was
blowing a little hard to fish, and that stopping the boat in this wind was not
going to be easy. His plan of self glorification came to an abrupt halt
when both lines were taken and he realised that he didn't have enough hands to
deal with them single handedly. Justice was truly served when having
brought the boat to a stop, his fish fell off and having been raised from my
slumber by the scream of reels, my fish (a fine tuna) was boated. As a certain
"Grumpy" would say " Back of the net!"
The only other occurence worth a mention is that Dr
Hutchinson has been busy practising and I am pleased to say that a certain crew
member is feeling a lot better, having got quite a weight of his
mind.
