Skyelark of London - Sweet sailing off Africa.



So, yesterday we got all cleaned up and had our first fishing success from which Dan prepared an excellent light lunch of baked fish and couscous salad. Just beautiful. This morning we woke up to yet another amazing calm day off the Moroccan coast enroute to the Cape Verde Islands. An impromptu rebuild of the fishing rod for improved stability and the reading of several pages from several novels by various crew members filled the morning, with Kit even getting the sextant out and having a play.

Fleet updates indicate that our strategy of going south fast and direct might pay off in the long run so we are quite pleased with team Bower on the strategic front as well. Light winds overnight forced us to proceed under engine until midday at which point Skyelark spread her wings once more and we  are now coasting along gently at what we believe is the correct speed for  landing more Dorado. Keep those fingers crossed!


Happy hour is just around the corner and tonight the crew are being treated to Brazilian Ceshasha to sip while chewing on South African biltong and droewors. So "gesondheid" to you all. Loftus
