Lady Stardust Faro-Portugal to Barcelona - 2010

Half way to the BVI

POS 17:14N 63:15W

We have had a very good 24 hour run, covering about 125NM. Now we are 110 miles from Tortola with a calmish sea and 10 knot winds, we are making about 5 knots.

It was a lovely evening/night, clear skies, 3/4 moon, lots of stars, Max saw several shooting stars, and just after dusk I caught a large Dorado fish. The boys were very excited, however while I was gutting it, the slippery thing slid out of my hands and straight over the side. I now have a new line out in anticipation of another catch.

Sunset last night

Cheers

Paul & Crew
