An interesting moment evening before last. Sitting there in cockpit having just finished a lovely Bombay potato & fresh tuna when there was a laud 'slap' on deck, just t'other side of the coaming very close to Sue. The 'slap' turned into a 'scuttle' and Sue ways (rather apprehensively) "What was that?" In the dim light I can see something bigger than I wanna fiddle with flapping around on the side-deck so I ask Sue to get the big torch before going too close. It's a rather big flying fish, making itself look all the bigger by having it's two flying fins (wings) wide out. I'm thinking and saying "It's big enough for us to keep and eat" and Sue's saying "Throw it overboard. We have lots of fish already". Overboard it goes, soon as it's calm enough to let me get a hand on it!
All checked-out yesterday, timely enough not to get drenched in any of the downpours. Another calm night and underway towards next island northwards, Dominica this morning.
Happy Birthday Jennifer xxxxxxxx
