The rolling downwind continues and it appears that it will stay that way until we reach St Martin. Today we had a good haul of flying fish from around the decks which Jase then filleted for us to have for lunch. The fishermen have got so desperate with their lack of success that we have resorted to the maritime equivalent of road kill, but only because we know how good they taste in a beer batter and lightly fried.
