Great to get this far with no major mishaps. Also caught a 5 kg bonito today which is now eaten. Plan to stay here for up to a week before setting off for the Canaries which are about 3 days away. There are a couple of deserted islands on the way which I want to visit weather permitting. Going down to me plus two for the next stage. Weather here is warm but not always sunny. Definitely better than the depression inducing Nov weather in the U.K.

No photo of today's fish but it was a bit bigger and the same species as these. No one today ate a fresher tuna.
