All ok onboard. Clear skies, sunny and tropically
warm. Water temp now 27 degrees C. After a frustrating night trying to keep
the boat moving in 5 knts of breeze in a sloppy swell we now have 10-12 knts on
the s/b beam and are making better progress. Loaf of bread (we had to throw the
cut loaf we bought in Mindelo away) and chocolate cake produced by the head chef
this morning and we were then joined by a large pod of Atlantic Spotted
dolphins that leapt around at the bow for 30 mins, the young flinging
themselves clear of the water in their excitement or maybe just showing
off. Their presence and playful activities however, meant we had
little chance of catching any fish so both lures remain streaming
the stern remain untouched by anything remotely edible. Where's that shoal of
Amberjacks when you need one?
