The one that got away was soooo huge that it took all 4 lines & 2 reels with it- quite happy to let it do that- the prospect of Vanessa fighting it into the pan was alarming...
2 pods of dolphins yesterday & 1 snorting whale
Slightly stronger winds at last so sailing well south towards Cape Verde where even better winds apparently await.When we arrive there we shall stop off to repair the alternator in order to ensure the batteries stay charged enough to watch the entire Bond films & keep the wine chilled. The opening evening of the Excellence cinema will be showing Casablanca on the grounds that we sailed past there a few weeks ago.
Canasta lessons commence today.
470 miles done averaging only 5 Knots due to light breezes. Hope to improve on that over time..
All well
