Saturday June 10th

Another great day here on the open Atlantic! Nico began the day saying he felt like it would be a good fishing day... and so it has been! 2 Mahi and 2 Marlin! Kept the mahi, had some for lunch and vac packed a ton, and released the first large Marlin and then lost the second monster Marlin along with most of our line! Breeze has died down and come behind us so its been a motor boat ride today. Sunny and calm. Beautiful day out here! Until we began motor sailing yesterday evening, it had been a perfect sailing trip. We are still blasting along and only have 289nm to go! We had a fabulous "half way party" yesterday at sunset just waiting for the full moon to rise! Expecting rain tomorrow for our final 20 hours into Bermuda, but none-the-less high spirits here, excited to get in for the AC action! Current position: 27 deg 38.1N 063 deg 43.45W |
