The excitement of the day was sighting our first ship since we departed the Canary Islands, 7 days ago. It was a huge container ship doing 22 kts on its way to Africa by the looks of things. The weather continues to be decidedly grey and overcast with more cloud cover than you typically see on this trip. The strong easterly that we have had continues to drop along with the swell which seems to be making for better fishing conditions as we landed a 10Lb Dorado this morning.
