Hi Folks,
 
Drama on the high seas, caught a fish, Tuna blue fine at 10 0/c, found a diesel leak in the aft compartment, had to pump that out and repair, looks like the engine start batts have gone tits up, an Ouch I stubbed my toe on the foot pumps in the galley.. silly me , toe now well plastered, we are on the battery checking and deciding on our next plan of action, progress has been good despite the motoring with no wind for the last 24 hr ...
 
The tuna was great though, with Sonja taking to her galley duties like a fish to water, also it was her first night watch keeping on her own, did us all proud ...
 
Long live the ratatouille .......
