Finally got away at 3.30pm yesterday. The seas have
been lumpy and so the ride is a little rough bit the conditions other than that
are very pleasant. Dolphin are everywhere and the first fish catch occured
when a small flying fish landed on deck. He got thrown back as he was too small
to consider cooking but it was certainly a distraction.
Getting away was a performance and the fuel up was
hard work, the sailing is easy in comparison and the glorious sunshine isn't
hard to bear. In La Cruze I got a bench made that converts the cockpit into a
bed and it has made all the difference. Sleeping at the wheel is now feasible
(on auto pilot).
Have covered around 120nm out of 7000 so its
progress but not a lot.
