It is now 06.30 I have just started my 0600 to 0900
watch the dawn is breaking through,the fishing line is deployed,one of the more
knowledgeable fisherman of our group, actually he is 12 yrs old and a real font
of knowledge,told me that the fish feed at dawn and dusk,so I'm putting it to
the test.Having caught nothing yesterday and the Dorado that got away the day
before.Its a good job we have a fresser on board otherwise we would be in for a
lean time.
The day has started in its normal mode in brilliant
sunshine,I thought I'd put that in as the temperatures in the UK are near
freezing so it looks like another day in paradise,but what we need is some wind
to push us across the Atlantic otherwise it will take forever.At the moment the
wind is SW 7knts which is not helpful.
With the engine running at 1500rpm we are making
5knts 120nm per day we really need to be on 150nm per day to make Antigua in
time for my flight home Hakuna Matata.
Well the decisions today will be what to have for
Lunch,and Dinner which is served in the cockpit around the table with a camping
light to see by and a glass of wine or perhaps a Gin and Tonic but never the
two.That's all for now
