No sooner had I sent yesterday’s report, then the fishing lines went. Ten minutes later we had 2 very nice 20lb Big Eye tuna onboard. We enjoyed seared tuna steaks for dinner last night and have sushi and sashimi coming up for lunch very soon.
We changed the clocks forward another time zone and have 3 more changes before we are on Central European Summer time.
The weather is still not co-operating although it could be much worse conditions and still slow so shouldn’t complain at the lack of wind.
We are now starting to see a lot more shipping around us as all the Atlantic traffic is converging on the Strait of Gibraltar.
