No dramas today but more time spent sorting out the parasailor.   We are sure that it will work tomorrow, like we were yesterday….

 

A very large pod of dolphins joined us for lunch today, and we landed our first fish.  See actual size:

We decided that one whitebait was not worth bothering with so we’ll wait for the marlin later.

 

We are now in the established trade winds pattern with long seas and settled wind, constant rock and roll, good for the core muscles.  Plenty of squalls to dodge, easier in the day than at night before the moon comes up but the radar helps.

 

See below for the view from our back window at daybreak this morning.  We have not seen another boat for days!
