Tuesday 1st October
Position: 38 20N — 06 40E
Day’s run: 266miles
Weather: Blue sea, blue sky and not too hot – just nice!
Wind: 090 Degrees 14knots
News: The wind has gone all the way around behind us now so although we
enjoyed a few hours with the wind on the beam we are again solely under
motor with the wind directly astern. Had a busy night last night as we
passed along the Tunisian coast with lots of shipping and fishing boats
everywhere. Luckily we had ideal conditions with excellent visability.
The fishing has been fantastic! We have been landing blue fin tuna all
morning at regular intervals, the biggest being 28 kilos (61 lbs) so we will
be popular in Palma. Plenty of space in the freezer so we don’t need to stop
fishing and the ones today we will keep fresh on ice to give to the sushi
restaurant as soon as we arrive.
Everyone is fit and healthy and looking forward to our arrival early
tomorrow morning.
