The winds have been good again for the last 24 hours. They have stayed a little more to the south than we had hoped so we are heading further west at the moment but are going well. This morning the boat was full of small squid between 80 and 150 mm. There were also a few flying fish thrown in. In the morning with the sun behind us the flying fish look spectacular as whole schools of them take to the air on front of us and they are all lit up by the sun. It has been a little bumpy today with the wind on the beam and getting up to 20kn. We have a reef in the main with a full genoa and are doing 6-8knots. It may be a tiring night tonight as the movement of the boat is irregular with the odd bounce enough to move you around the bunk.
Till next time...
