Flying fish landing on deck now........one at
supper time a day ago hit the windshield behind Ger giving a bit of a shock.
Another on deck each of the last mornings. Still none on the lines despite
varying the lures we're using........we live in hope.
Winds 15 to 20 knots from behind and forecast to go
up to 25. Means we're making 6.5 to 7 knots.Wind forecast to lats til early next
week Poled out genoa and main during the day , headsail only at night. Too
strong for the chute..Real rolling motion especially under headsail only.
The midnight cakeeaters have moved on to the goody
jar ! Picking up a Penguin seems to be the favourite. Still have fresh
fruit and veg which has lasted wlell til now. Getting waarmer, T Shirt only
on night watch, but also more humid.
Very few sightings of other boats but we
occasionally hear them on VHF which means some are only 20 miles
away.
Passed half way during the night and looking to
pass 45 degrees during Friday ( St L
is justs over 60 degrees and Las P was 15 ) so two thirds of the
way.
Seadog.
