Well, not much to report, no fish, but we did loose
Simons new fancy lure from MN to a big fish this afternoon, much to his
disapointment, There was a brief clicking of the reel as the fish struck, and
when we pulled it it, the wire was bitten through. ery sad as that was a very
fine and favorite lure.
Other than that, mirror calm again during the day.
we did give in and have a swim today, the water is back up to warm temperatures,
it was very cold in the Las Perlas! Almost as cold as Tjome in the
summer!
Amanda & I changed the spinaker halyard this
morning, during her morning watch, which started at 0600, with a broad smile. So
we now have a fancy Dyneema halyard instead of the old stretchy one, oh for a. a
fancy spinaker to fly on it, b. some wind to fill it!!
I did see a boat, well rather a ship last nigh, but
that is all. I am sitting in the cockpit writing this, and have just watched a
single dolphin head over to us, I could see him from about 500 mtrs out, thanks
to the phosphoresence in the water, most incredible.
