Hi everyone,
We reached the half-way point last night, all is well aboard Bandido, we have had some great sailing with the cruising chute over the last few days, yesterday we went through the tail end of a cold front so we dropped the cruising chute and used normal sails, it was very overcast and humid, the wind had picked up a little and the cross seas were a bit uncomfortable for a while, but the seas soon settled out so it was time for the cruising chute again, we are certainly getting well drilled in using the chute.
We tried our hand at fishing again yesterday, we had two takes both mahi-mahi but only small and they both dropped back into the sea as they were about to be landed. We are getting a little low of fish in the freezer so need to stock up soon to keep Gus going on the BBQ every lunch time with fish and salad which we all enjoy.
Alex cooked a spicy spaghetti Bolognese last night which was great, we all had seconds and then an ice pop to cool down in the cockpit after.
Happy sailing
Bryan
