All ok onboard - steady progress continues as we
pass the half way mark on the 2000 mile crossing. Phil dealt with a crashed
flying fish as he came on watch last night when a metallic twang
announced its arrival onboard via the davit or boom - not sure which but he
must have had an awful headache! A right mess with blood splattered across the
aft deck - over fenders, everywhere. Phil helped it back into the ocean,
but its wingman wasn't so lucky, crash landing on the foredeck during
the night and subsequently being found dried to parchment on mid morning deck
inspection. Its a dangerous life in the Flying Fish Core! It is bread and
cake baking day today and the boat is filled with interesting aromas. It was
suggested that some flying fishcakes could be produced but the idea didn't find
favour with the chef.
