This morning we stopped the engine to do an oil change and put up the main sail and genoa to keep us moving. Unfortunately we had to alter course to keep the sails full, hence we are sailing south slowly rather than towards St Martin.
During this time we have managed to catch a Wahoo and a Mahi Mahi. Fish for lunch and dinner today. Lets hope the good fishing continues once we turn the engine back on. We are still waiting for some sushi tuna!
823 miles to go.
