Fishy tales…..

Last night a large flying fish flew straight through the side window in the aft cabin whilst we were sleeping.

It woke us up with a thud and lots of commotion began as it thrashed around the floor with Mark chasing it with a tea towel to pick it up and take it outside.

First thing this morning we had more excitement as the line went and Malc reeled in a huge Dorado. It was beautiful, glistening yellow and blue and green and leaping out of the water.

Just as we pulled it out and got ready to gaff it, the hook came out and the fish got away, what a shame !

It was our turn as net controller for today so I have just spent 40 mins on the SSB radio relaying positions of the fleet and e-mailing them to Rally control.

We are running the generator now as the SSB runs down our batteries, which means the immersion is also on and so we are all having hot showers too.
