Day 2 on a wide, wide sea. The early morning shift sees
a lively performance of shooting stars and space debris. So we're waiting on a
lot of wishes now. The moon is a fingernail, but it never gets
dark- keeping us company. The boats' wake is lit by bioluminescent
plankton.
Through the night and morning we have little winds so a
bit of a rolly journey so far. The crew are holding strong. In the morning we
pass the last of New Zealand land with albatross coming to wave us off bringing
winds with them. So far despite the foreboding clouds the crew have stayed dry.
Filling their bellies with Malene's food-truck-worthy sandwiches: tuna,
boiled egg, mayo, artichoke hearts (carried from Panama City), capers, pickle
relish, wasabi pepper.
With the rod out and the crew hopeful for a bite to eat
we lose a pretty striped fish just as it's being pulled on to the deck. The one
that got away!
With the smell of roast potatoes for dinner that's all
for now folks!
Your Skye Blue crew,
Orla and Laura
