Folllowing our autohelm breakage and the return to
Mindelo, we are now headed for St Lucia once again.
A day of repairs incuded installing a new port
navigation light which one wave just took from the boat, we only discovered this
whilste hosing all the sea salt off the boat, for the crew its easy just walk
into the shower sunglasse and all and remove all layers while the water takes
all the salt, each of the crew had taken turns at the helm and had also
taken big waves in the face.
We are now bowling along in the sunshine lines out
waiting for our first catch, all on board are at the same stage of their fishing
career, they know nothing and we just missed hooking into a seabird who liked
the look of our current lure , pink in colour.
All on board settling into the routine of ocean
sailing and the skipper just announced only 42 watches to go before landfall,
with good fortune and winds it may be less.
