Day 2 sees us still crawling South in very light winds, so light sometimes we have been drifting instead of sailing.

 

We are still looking to cross the ICTZ around 4N 28W, but hopefully the wind will pick up in the next few days or else we will miss Carnival in Brazil J

 

Although the speed has been slooooow, the days are very pleasant, and although it feels we could sometimes walk quicker, we are comfortable and content.

 

This afternoons fishing saw Fabi catch a big big fish which got away, breaking 60kg line, but then followed by another smaller one we couldn’t identify, but was a little too thin to bother cleaning and cooking.

 

In addition to fishing, Fabi is continuing her guitar practice, currently concentrating on an intriguing arrangement of Hotel California. Ironic really, we are neither in a desert, there are no highways, and there is no cool wind......

 

Not much else to report, looking forward to better winds.....
