Good day,

A few days has passed, and we decided to write our first blog entry of this trip.

On this crossing over to the Caribbean we have a few new faces joining us, so let me introduce all of us.

Captain: Niel Botha

Stew: Isabella Botha

Deckhand: Thomas van Niekerk

Chef: Geromine Decuq

Crew: Shaun Nabo

Crew: Mac Rubright

We departed Las Palmas on Wednesday morning around 02:35, making our way down to the Verde’s.

Starting off we had light winds and calm seas. The last 24hrs the wind has constantly blown to 15 – 20kts with bumpy seas just off the bow.

A few squalls are predicted for today & conditions seems to be improving.

The fishing rods are out, and all is well onboard!

Have a good weekend!
