We had a good curry with Mike and Garry before departure last night, and i had the pleasure of watching their stern light disappear into the distance as we sailed and they motored! There were a lot of stars out during the night and although the wind was light, we kept 5 knots up.
Today has been hot and sunny, and the news that Shelette had caught a Wahoo gave us the resolve to chuck the fishing line in the water!
