We are now over half-way across and it's all downhill from here. I was
horrified to discover we had no champagne in the wine cellar for the
celebration. It's not easy being the best part of 1,500 miles from an
off-licence.
Colin continues to fish even though we definitely don't want any tuna. All
the bites today have immediately taken all the line and snapped it off. This
is fine, as anything that can break 100lb test line like it was cotton
thread is not something we want either ripping off the transom or snapping
at us on deck. It's getting to be costly for tackle though.
Heike continues to surprise us with her bikinis. It seem like it's a
different one every day. Still, it adds a touch of glamour that Colin and I
don't seem to manage by ourselves.
