It has been another slow 24 hours with wind on the nose or very little wind at all. We have finally put behind us the band of rain that we were in for 2 days. Today is a gloriously fine day and very little wind. Everyone is enjoying the smoother seas and making the most of it and doing washing for the first time since leaving St Maarten. The swells have become very long and lazy, just how we like them.
We managed to catch another Mahi Mahi this morning. Not as big as yesterdays. Today we have seen a lot of plastic floating around which is always sad to see.
Tomorrow we are hoping we will get enough wind to give us some good speed and maybe even turn the engine off.
