Today’s News
The wind picked up again in the afternoon and we furled out the genoa and pulled in the fishing lines. By sunset the wind died and we went back to engine only and the mizzen as a stabilizer. Last night we had to make a few detours to avoid ever expanding oil fields and all the traffic tendering to the drilling rigs.
The dawn brought a stunning day with light winds and blue seas. We have had the fishing lines out all morning and lost 2 fish. We are now waiting for 3rd time lucky.
We just caught a small Mahimahi, our first fish in a long time.Fresh fish for dinner tonight.
