Great sailing last night, 9 knots most of the time with a good SE breeze - albeit cold (i had to do lots of Bernies to keep warm)!
Unsurprisingly the sky was very clear, with lots of shooting stars.
During the day the wind died back, dropping our speed to 6 knots, but that was more than made up for by an excellent fish sandwich lunch.
In the afternoon the sea was calm enough to allow us to get some Pilates in and the hoops out - don't try this at home!

Another glorious happy hour was broken by the sound of the whining real, as we hooked yet another Dorade.
