After a promising start, we are suffering
from severe lack of wind, yesterday found us motoring over a slight sea with
little help from the 7 or 8 knots of wind, we even played scrabble in the
cockpit. Efforts to add fresh fish to our diet have not been too successful to
date with the score standing at fish 3, us 0! Hooked a monster which laughed as
he snapped the 60lb line, lost another and reeled a modest barracuda to the
swimm platform where he bumped his nose on the transom and jumped off the hook!
Trying again today. Awoke t absolute mirror sea, quite spectacular with a fab
sunrise and a fleeting visit from a pair of dolphins. Weather still gorgeous but
a little cooler, actually wearing t shirt evening and morning. Crew all well and
hoping to receive Herbs net today, as we get closer to the States. All praying
for some breeze, interestingly, the 2 knots we do have seem to be coming from
the North West which is encouraging. More Anon
