Today’s News
After lunch we caught another Mahi-mahi and then took the lines in as it was getting quite busy with traffic. In the evening, while passing 35 miles South of Rio, we had 67 ships on the AIS (Automated Identification System). There was never a dull moment dodging traffic all night. We also passed over the Tropic of Capricorn and are now officially back in the tropics and it feel likes it too.This morning we saw land for the 1st time in 3 days as we rounded Cabo Frio. Just after sunrise we spotted 2 whales which we think were Sei whales, we slowed and observed them for a while. Later we saw another whale blow but could not identify it.
