Position 17.58.1N 029.37.6W Day seven on the big brother boat and something very fishy is going on. It all started when our first flying fish landed on the boat, since then we have fish landing on us all the time. This inspired Bob to get our line out. Lure attached he cast off the back of the boat, within an hour the line went taught, the rod bent but it got away. Another bite quickly followed but same result. But then, success, line taught, rod bent and it stayed that way. Bob donned life jacket, clipped on and began the long reel in. The rest of the crew reduced sail and slowed the boat. There is was our first fish caught by Bob. Big grin on his face, he stood with pride holding up a lovely Dorado. Dispatched swiftly with Whiskey ( The fish not Bob) it is in the freezer and will be served later with a little tomato and garlic pasta. YUM. Apart from that all is good, Lion King carries us safely west although at the moment we are heading for Virginia because of wind direction and we only have around 1800 miles to run. So if things stay as they are we will be in Antigua around the 23rd. As we are seven days in a special treat is in store, a shower for each person on the aft deck so we no longer be a smelly crew!!

All the best and have a nice day
