We left the anchorage at 07.00 in light SE wind to sail out over the extensive shallows. The wind built giving promise of a fast passage this morning which found us broad reaching then goose winging for a time. It's now 2033 local and we're motorsailing as the wind has died. Paul landed a 15 lb Tuna and we filleted it then had some shashimi with soy sauce - very tasty and the crew were pleased. Seared tuna tonight chaps!
