HALF WAY!!! WAHOO!!!
Today started off with a bang! 9pm this morning as Pam landed the biggest
dorado yet! A full half Pam in size. Darren got some great underwater footage of
the big guys being reeled in along side the boat. Which resulted in fresh dorado
sambos for lunch with nachos and salsa on the side, enjoy on deck in the
blistering sunshine. Its been just perfect sailing conditions with 20-25 knots
from the north east. The crew are in high spirits as we crossed the half way
point in the leg today. We moved our clocks back by twos hours towards Caribbean
time.
Simon got a hair cut on the aft deck, which Darren started with the
trimmers but unluckily lost the piece off the top and skipper stepped in to
finish the job with a scissors, saving Wookie’s dignity quiet skilfully. Happy
hour, which is cleaning hour took place as usual after lunch. The boat, as
always is in top condition, the guys have been working hard to keep the
standards high. The cleanest heads on the boat is shared by Nathan, Darren and
Eoghan, its immaculate, well done lads hats off to ye, it even smells great.
Simon has a bit to learn about heads cleaning still.
Nathan is the current dice champion on board after a long hat themed game
on deck in the sunshine after happy hour, so he gets to wear the fabled Viking
winners hat! All the crew wore hats ranging from pirate hats, umbrellas to
cooking pots. The game ended in whipped cream being applied in generous
quantities upon crew members. |
