WIND ENE11, COG 280 SOG 5 RUN 120
We are ready to arrive now and it's really frustrating to be progressing so slowly. We have 340 miles to go now, 2 days in a moderate breeze however no such wind is forecast.
For half an hour last night we built up enough speed to entice a decent fish to our lures. Nice tuna landed right as we were about to dish up dinner, around 6 kilos. We caught him on the penn 6.0 reel, it was really hard work, the new 2 speed Reel is soooo much easier to use, don't leave home without one.
ETA still May 08, everyone blow to the North West for us, though I suspect perhaps we need a bigger readership for that one to work.
