The wind forecast today did not materialise and we
have been strugging with a weak E'ly sticking as much canvas as possible up.
Finally put the chute up at 4pm as the wind picked up from NE which we hope to
carry through the night. Caught a big 10lb fish (a Wahoo we think) which a
delicious change from our tinned food tonight. 1282 miles to go, and we are all
excited for Friday when we reach hopefully the half way point. Wind is due to
pick up NE 4-5 by dawn - lets hope its not another false
dawn!
All well aboard. Love K & V
Hi Alison here. Got my head down a bit early
last night - too much sun I think, so no blog from me, but back at keyboard
again today letting you all know what we're up to here almost mid atlantic! The
fish was a great surprise and a provided quite a diversion in the early
evening. Less than an hour from sea to plate - welldone patrick!
Nearly half way - look forwrd to the downhill count
and thnking of chips rum punch etc.... All is well bye for now

Hi Team... Nessa here again... Such brilliant fresh
fish.... what a delight... caught, filletted and cooked in one hour! Better than
a restaurant!... More to come tomorrow too. Lorraine, thanks so much
for looking after Bryony .. hope it wasn't too difficult when you had so much
work to do! Could you please tell Sophie that I left a message for her
yesterday.. am not sure how often she looks at our blog!? With all
the excitement of the Wahoo (what a great name!) I forgot to say we saw a whale
leaping into the air a few times, quite a long way a way... but
thrilling!
Love to all the girls... all round the world... and
to all the family and dear friends XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Patrick is exhausted from allthis fishing... and
will talk to the world tomorrow. ????
