Jacana of Ardmay - 8/12/11
Hi Everyone,
Someone had fed back that there had not been any blogs from us for the last
couple of days, we have written them so I hope they have now been posted! Well,
we have had such an eventful day today! Again the weather is very hot and the
Atlantic very calm, unbelievably so, however it did mean that the fishing rod
saw some action, Andrew and Andrew (both very pleased with themselves) managed
to reel in a Bluefin tuna fish, about 10 lbs in weight, some protein for dinner
tonight! Margaret said it was going to be the most expensive tuna steak that we
have ever eaten................I think she was referring to the cost of the
fishing gear!!! At the stern of the boat we gutted and cut the tuna into 9
steaks, refrigerated ( working again, clever Andrew ) ready for serving later.
As it was so calm young Andrew decided that he would like to go swimming, so
with the use of the “man over board equipment” to have as a grab rope and the
pulley to haul him back on board he did. Wow it was so warm, Andrew and Alison
followed suit and went in too, so refreshing. We have spotted fish jumping and a
tropical looking fish swimming along with the weed floating in the sea. To cap
it all the sunset was the best yet, many pictures taken. Wind has picked up a
little however with the cruising chute we are managing 5 to 6 knots, 250 miles
to go, maybe we will get in on Saturday!
