We have been sailing in gentle winds and seas again
for a few days now. The fishing rods have been over the stern and we have caught
another small Mahi-mahi and a small tuna. The mahi-mahi became a very nice kilaw
(raw fish dish) and the tuna is still in the freezer, will be supper
tonight.
For those of you who have not met him yet I would
like to introduce "Humphrey" our third crew member. He does almost all the
steering for us and does a great job. And he does not need feeding.
We had a large pod of dolphins swimming with us the
other day, but no whales yet.
Tomorrow we will be half way. So, still a long way
to go, but we are keeping ourselves amused.
