Hi all. The weather has settled into a bit squally but not too wet(the Oracle leads us round most of them) and a general 15-28knots with still a deep 2.5m SE swell at 10sec and a 1.8m E swell at 7sec. to make it even more fun we have to slow down a bit to get to suwarrow tomorow morning. so we will have to roll about a bit(our course is west by north west so the big swell catches us on the quarter.) Poled out reefed jib and reefed main(steady sail)still doing 6.5-7knots
On the plus side we caught two fish yesterday. a 2.5foot yellowfin tuna and then a 4 foot 3 inch Mahi Mahi. Between them its 36 meals of fish. The Mahi Mahi had to be halved to fillet it. The 3 of us had less than 1 /8th for tea last night.
All is well, the crew are standing up to the jiggly seas like troopers. Chat soon.
P.s for the C'Cd boats. please dont hit reply on this email or you will be posting our blog directly. Then the whole world will see your typos.
