At noon today Timoneer is 112 miles from St. Maarten and at our current speed will be anchored outside the Simpson Bay bridge by 2200 this evening. The weather has turned to full Caribbean and is hot and steaming especially motor sailing in this direction as the apparent wind speed is down too 2-4kts. The boys are getting everything ready for our arrival inflating fenders and the crew tender to use to go to customs. On the fishing scene this morning we landed at 27LB Dorado (Mahi Mahi) and then twin Big Eye Tuna’s of 12Lbs. each. That rounds out the freezer nicely for this crossing as we have approximately 35Lbs of fillets and steaks. Everyone on board is well.
