A slower day today, only 124nm mostly motorsailing upwind into about 5-7kts of wind. We had another night featuring lightning, dolphins and phosphorescence - beautiful to watch.
 
Today we've been working on the fishing, and now have a handline out aswel as Tuck's rod line - nothing yet... We had light rain this morning, but that's now stopped but no sun just yet.
 
Wind forecast looks pretty light and for the next 24 hours, and then hopefully better after that, so looks like we'll be burning a bit of diesel for a while.
