Sunday 19th May 2013

Distance run so far: 2475

Distance run Day 18: 120

Total distance run: 2595 nmiles

A squally day spent for the most part shortening sail, getting wet, letting out sail and waiting for the next one. Made up for by catching a dorado late afternoon, fortunately during one of the lulls. Six meals in the freezer.

Two fillets of dorado ready for the freezer.
