Not a lot to report today. We are sailing right on our course so no wasted motion. Every scrap of canvas up to make the most of the 10 to 18kt breeze. We did drop the geneker before the night shift last night because there were a few squalls about. Lots of flying fish about, and one got his nav wrong and did a face plant on the side of the cabin. We sent him back as bait but no luck. I had the lures out on the crack of dawn. We hooked up soon after but Jim clumsily lost him. (Actually it was a big beast and was stripping line until he tightened the drag on (80lb line) until it broke him off)
Our gourmet experience aboard continues, Marina's Venezualan corn cakes and side dishes. We mighten be the fastest boat in the fleet but we are the best fed and watered. My turn to cook today, a hard act to follow. (Marina's, not mine)
Coming up to half way and we are on a roll for a storming finish. I note our water depth at about 6000m, a bit over my head....
Cheers, Dips
