Everyone Fine! Weather warm and sunny with a few
clouds.
This morning saw a break in the fish catching
blight. We caught 2 large Dorada which are now filleted and sitting in the
fridge ready for dinner tonight. This included one caught by Olly who is very
pleased to break his "deep water" fishing famine. The flying fish can now be
ditched as they didn't look very appetizing anyway.
We also came across a large brown turtle, but
didn't try catching that.
Winds remain light and the seas fairly flat, but
with large Atlantic rollers going by to cause the odd "wobble" (usually at meal
times). We are heading a little south of our original track as the weather
forecast shows very light winds a little north of our position. So we hope
to skirt round them.
Otherwise all is well and making steady
progress.
PS. Text messages being received are still
truncated. Texts must be in continuous letters to fill a max space of 160
characters. (ie if you insert a return then you loose the remaining
letters/spaces that would fit on that line). I also think the 160 limit includes
the address, so keep it short please.
