Day 6 and we have just clocked up 1000NM, incredibly we are
a 1/3 of the way to BVI The weather has been kind so far and we are broad
reaching at 7-8kts in about 20kts of north easterly trade wind. Fantastic
sailing. Yesterday was notable for two reasons. The first:
Newman was introduced to Porridge, I think ‘not sure about this’
was probably the verdict. However, as he was chef for breakfast the lumps
of coagulated Quaker Oats were entirely his fault. The second: I
shall never malign Ian’s fishing skills again. At 1330 yesterday
afternoon Ian caught a Mahi Mahi, at least that’s what we thought it
was. Not wanting nature’s bounty to go to waste the fish, from
hooked to cooked was about 4 hours and very tasty he was too! Ian and
Kevin in the picture with ‘the fish’. |
