Today’s News
After a lot of rain squalls yesterday afternoon, the clouds started to clear and unveiled a great sky for star gazing. The day well this morning with blue skies and then we caught a wahoo. We are steaming towards St Maarten where we plan to stop and repair the hydraulics. Hopefully we will be on our way to Antigua Monday or Tuesday. At the moment we are about 7 hours away from anchoring in Simpson Bay.
We just had a bit of excitement with a marlin on the line. It jumped a little bit and Penny got photos of the splashes. Terry managed to get it to the back of the boat before it spat the hook. We are now entering prime fishing areas and hope to get some more smaller fish preferably.
