SUNDAY 15TH APRIL 2007.
POSITION: 25 45N. 052 10W
DISTANCE TRAVELLED: 276 miles in 24hours
WIND: Westerly 12 knots
WEATHER: Mostly sunny and cool to warm.
NEWS: The weather continues in it’s good mode – long may it last! The wind is directly behind us now so very little apparent which means no headsail and just the main and mizzen sheeted in flat to help dampen the rolling. There are very few clouds and the sea is bright blue. Yesterday afternoon we caught another dorado but we are now seeing more and more seaweed which fouls our hooks and means the fish don’t hit the lures.
We have seen a few ships but very little else, not a single whale or dolphin and even very few flying fish. We have just less than 2,500 miles to go – and counting!
