Title: Graptolite - Nicobar Islands

07:27.38N 092:36.48E, Bay of Bengal, Indian Ocean, Friday 16th Jan 20:30 UTC

We had a glut of yellowfin tuna yesterday and one lucky fish got thrown back
as it was too big.

We passed through the Nicobar Islands about 60 miles ago. Yachts are not
allowed to stop there unfortunately; something to do with hostile natives
and Russian/Indian military stuff. From a distance what we saw seemed ok
apart from a cruise ship wrecked on a beach.

It's a bit bouncy but we are making good speed in these NE Monsoon winds.
