If you are a sailor and love to sail you would
probably call this the perfect day.
The sun is shining from a blue sky and the ocean
just reflects that wonderful blue.
There are sparks of sunlight in the water that is
just gently moving, a few puffy clouds give you a sense
of depth. The wind is about 8-10 knots and Salsa is
sailing into the wind just so she leans 3-4 degrees and we are making 6-7
knots.
Then we catch a fish, a 10 kg Mahe mahe, actually
it was Ellinor who caught it, I just had to pull it in.
Then she cleaned it and made beautyful
filés.
Some potatoes got peeled, and I fried cubicles
in butter over gas. When the raw fried potatoes is nearly done, I put 3 big
filés
from the half hour fresh
fish into the pan. Fry it with sea salt and
sprinkled with freshly ground white pepper. All is served with some fresh
sprouts (the only vegetable we have on board now).
Then you sit under the bimini, sailing on and
eating this wonderful meal. I do not think Im saying this a lot, but this is
absolutely unreal.
