Monday 19th August
Hello to everyone again! We have been in Palma since July 1st having a lot
of work done on the boat but are now underway again. We left this morning at
0915 and have had to use the engine all day due to light headwinds. We are
headed for Malta where we will refuel and then on to Mikonos in Greece for a
three week cruise in the islands.
Weather today has been warm and humid with one rain squall which dumped a
load of Sahara dust all over the boat. We have had a great day of fishing and
caught three Bluefin Tuna – the best! the chef is now complaining so we
have taken in the lines but hope to start again tomorrow as we will be able
to give them away in Malta.
All is well on board and we are making about 11 knots on a course of 105
degrees, straight for Malta where we hope to arrive on Wednesday afternoon.
