Overnight ran the chute til 11.30 when a squall
hit........fun getting it down but succeeded ,then no wind so motored two hours.
Wind fickle but hoping for better as we get to the Trades. Crossed Tropic of
Cancer today so small celebration involving a bottle of champange.Crew getting
better at sail changes through exercises on the foredeck at dawn with
Micheal.
Heard about the two Scots, two Irish lasses and the
Englishman ? Yours truly definetly in the minority here.
No wildlife sighted yet.....which means the fish
still aren't biting. Haven't given up yet as we need a change of diet from Kiwi
fruit.
Just broke off to watch a pod of 20 or 30 dolphins
play off the bow of the boat.....so quick and love racing the boat.
Thats all for today folks,
Seadog.
