Man's best friend?
Do not, I repeat, DO NOT try this at home.
A dog is truly a man's best friend.
If you don't believe it, just try this experiment.
Put your dog and your wife in the boot of the car for an hour.
When you open the trunk, who is really happy to see you?
 
The butcher patrol this dawn accounted for 31 flying fish on deck. Only 1 of eating size the rest were about 2" long and if we had ground them all up together they might have made 1 fish cake. The real line went out at dawn as today the chefs have said they want a fish as the freezer is now empty.
 
Good wind shift last night and we are now on a port tack heading directly to Hiva Oa. If this wind and direction holds then we will be in tomorrow before mid day. All on board looking forward to it.
 
And this means that the daily logs will stop for a while. Do I hear a collective sigh of relief?
 
Cheers
