So here we are motoring between Madeira and the
Canaries, almost no wind.
This morning I decide to put a bait out to see if
we can get some fish.
Well nothing happens during the entire
day...
Until I decide to take a shower and shave before
afternoon coffee.
As I exit the shower nude to get some fresh clothes
Erika yells:- FISH FISH FISH!!!!! And it is jumping all over!
I got a T skirt but nothing else, rushed to the
aft, Ellinor brought down the engine to idle. I yell, - can I get any
pant!!?
Ellinor:- why?
The fish is jumping yes, and it feels big! It was a
Mahe-Mahe, knownn for very good meat. And now it is in the fridge waiting for
some rice and good sauce. Size? A guess is about 2-3 Kg. not very big but
enought for dinner!
We promise to publish some pictures Erika took of
the final fight with the fish. Other than that we have seen pilot whales, the
third school actually went diving so we got to see their magnificen tailfins in
the air.
Oh yes, this is funny, we where some boats leaving
Madeira at the same time yesterday so there was some chatting on the
VHF.
One american guy we just met briefly said, : - say
hallo to Ellinor.
Ellinor was like everybody else impressed by the
americans ability to remember names.
So the man keeps talking on the VHF with another
american boat and the other person aknoledges with: - A roger on that. A very
common _expression_ on radio in the US to say , yes, affirmative.
Ellinor, did not know that so she memorises his
name as Roger. Now we are naming everything Roger on board...
