6am. and a large golden ball has just risen
from the horizon, heralding in another hot day, and chasing off the chill of
night. We have made steady progress through the night of flourish knots in
light winds. Chris has been in consultation with Lyn, and it's all hands
on deck now to rig out second spinnaker pole with a view to down wind sailing
using a twin head sail configuration. Should pick up some speed watch out
Rhythm were behind you ( 1500nm) and closing.
I had my line out at first light, just hope we are
not going too fast to catch anything. That's been our excuse for catching
less than Rhythm. Chris is getting fussy about the fish we catch, and is
now requesting a dorado. Apparently tuna is not good enough for him.
Speaking of him, he is mother today. It would be nice to present him with
a fish to bake for tea. Still he will be hard pressed to better Lyn's
curry of last night. Brilliant, complete with onion baji and bread, but no
beer, we are all TT again until the Marquises. The Marquises and French
Polynesia are now our focus of attention. Though the Galapagos is not
forgotten with all of us saying that we will be back some day.
We were just watching some large shoals of flying fish skimming over
the waves, when we saw the cause of there flight. A large tuna/dorado or
something leapt out of the water several times chasing after them. Hope he
thinks my lure is a slow flying fish!

duties )
Much scatalogical ruminations in the WC
department since we left the Galapagos , we don't know whether it was the beer
or the pitza we had on the last night , all is solid but frequent
toilet paper will have to go on ration at
this rate !
Have a happy day
Rob, Ti Toche, Fluffy and
Smoggy
