Wind – 12 knots from 200 degrees
We had nice conditions yesterday afternoon and evening and were averaging between 12-13 knots for several hours. Around 5pm we crossed over the Tropic of Cancer and are now officially back in the tropics. The temperature outside is very pleasant and the sea temperature is now up to 75 F( 24C). At 3.30am the wind turned on the nose and slowed us down considerably.
I put the fishing lines out at first light today and after couple of hours we caught a nice Mahi Mahi. Fresh fish for dinner tonight! This morning we put the clocks back another hour. We are still having satellite problems but now it due to our course and the mast hiding the view of the satellite. Hopefully this problem will be solved when we turn the corner tonight and head towards Antigua.
