We left at 8 this morning and so
far have had a really nice sunny run with little wind.
Nik saw a few fishing boats and
decided it would be a good place to fish.
Unfortunately an hour or so later, a bird was trapped by the line; he
wasn’t actually hooked but entangled.
Nik had to reel the bird in to be freed. The release was done gently with
a boat hook, but it seemed the bird’s wing was damaged and I was worried that it
might not survive. It did manage to fly off and land so hopefully it will be
ok. Needless to say, that put an
abrupt end to the fishing.
20:00
We are moored in Caleta
Saudade. This cove was either named
by the Italians in honour of their boat or their boat was named in honour of
this cove. I’ll have to
ask.
Anyway it’s a tiny inlet and a
very beautiful and snug anchorage. Today’s run was 79 miles.
The pictures are a few en route
and the rest are of the little
inlet.
