Our first catch - the shark
And the wire it bit through
A sail in the distance at sunrise
Giles with DIY lure
Giles with first landed fish
and another
Giles goes for a swim mid-Atlantic
Eddie joins him
Tim and Eddie
Cape Verdes - we weren't meant to see these
Flying fish - 2 or 3 on the deck every morning
Fishing net snags tow generator
Tow generator blade munched by something
School continues for Anna and Eddie
A Trade Wind sky
Giles showers in salt water
Giles washes up (again)
Land Ho!
Crossing the line
