We are sailing on a broad reach with full main and jib doing (thanks to the Eddy currents) about 8.5 kts. This morning is a text book "blue water" sailing day: blue sky with some clouds, sailing on a comfortable reach doing near hull speed on a deep blue water. Fish lure is in the water and we already had a bite but unfortunately the fish got away.  Threading the correct side of the Eddy to take advantage of north-to-south current  Blue water sailing  Happy crew with less layers (outside temperature is now 22 C) |
