El Mundo - 03/12 - Half way party



After a slow start to the morning, the wind picked up and we had a good 24 hour sail of 170 miles. Weather has been mixed, a lot of warm sunshine but also some heavy showers. Fishing reached a crescendo during the afternoon when both rods were in action and we caught 3 quite big Dorado, around 5-6kg each....one of which fought so hard, he snapped our gaff in two.

The evening saw us crack a bottle of champagne to celebrate reaching the halfway mark to St Lucia....and also to recognise the anniversary of the sending of the first text message back in 1992....whatever did we do before then?! Back in the Caribbean theme, it is also the anniversary of the attempted assassination of Bob Marley, when he was shot twice in 1976.

Our problem with chafe has recurred and we spent a couple of hours this morning re-rigging in an attempt to resolve the issue.

We have baked a parmesan and sun-dried tomato loaf for lunch, so looking forward to trying that.
