Another windless day - 2-4kn from the East.
 
Highlights were the fish. A 1 hr fight with a monstor 15kg Mahi Mahi ended up with two fridge drawers full of fresh meat.
A short while later another Marlin was hooked. Seen leaping and slapping the water to free the hook, it broke the line shortly after. That's three MArlins hooked in less than a month with none of them reeled in even an inch or two - time to upgrade the fishing rigs!
 
Late afternoon some breeze appeared (6-8kn) - on the nose of course - but we pulled up all the rags to rest the engines and started tacking along the coast. Arrival time likely to be Sunday morning now.
