Sea temperature 27.9 C
Fish caught - nil
Dolphins - lots, pilot whales - three.
All well on board. The winds are very variable and we have just motored
pretty much the whole night but the sails are up again and we are making the
most of a little bit of a blow. We have just come through a huge dump of
rain from the one squall that we didn't manage to avoid so the salt has been
washed off the boat and the air has freshened up a little. It is very hot
and humid when there is little wind so we are most comfortable on deck.
Brad and JM are in disgrace over the lack of fish and I have not bothered to
get the sushi kit out from the bilges yet. Today they are trying a lure
that has, according to the packet, been catching salt water fish since 1952.
Mmmm, we will see. There are definitely fish around because we can see them
jumping.
This is the calmest sea we have sailed on for quite a while so we are
enjoying that and getting some jobs done. Brad is awesome at bringing a
shine to the gelcoat so Tashi Delek is smartening up day by day.
We are still in twice daily contact with Dancing Bear our sister ship and
they are making good progress too.
Not much else to report other than my first attempt at Key Lime pie using
Delia Smiths recipe was tasty but not quite right so I will work my way
through the other recipes I have downloaded until I get the official stamp
from Brad who is the expert on what it should taste like.
All for now.
