Ostra A - Fish caught by a Pike!



For the first time since our beginning we have all had a good night sleep without interruption of waves and sound. This calm came together with such a clear night sky that i was almost impossible to identify the constellations, but fortunately Ritchie downloaded an app on his computer, called Planets, which allowed us to spot the constellations.
The day then started with a beautiful sunrise that unfortunately was only seen by Mat and Orshi, but luckily there are phones to capture the moment in photos. <pictures inserts at Wi-Fi reception> More beautiful sunrises/sets will sure to come, so no worries!
 
Coral made pancakes to start of the day which put us all in high energy, aka dance mode. The good atmosphere took away the wind at noon but no crying over spilled milk as Mat and Emil took the chance to dive into the water, film to be released of Mat’s belly dive^^ as apposed to Emil’s Olympic swan dive. We got the boat and started the engine and as soon as we reached 7 knots we caught our first fish!!! Which deserves a worthy story, Emil style.
 
I was washing the saltwater from my body as the fishing rod went ‘click click click’. Mat came running grabbing the rod and started to battle the fish. 15 meters from the boat we could see this beautiful creature with colours that of a rainbow. It was slowly being reeled onto the boat as we all amazed the mixed colours of the mahi mahi. Put it onto the boat and knifed the ****er right in the head. It gave us 1.5 kg of meat. 
 
Dinner was served by Mat; Jamaican cabbage, chicken, curry with mashed potato(with skin on).
 
Fact of today:
Routine on a ARC passage; as most of you can probably figure out doing a passage like this takes its toll on mind and body. So to even it all out amongst us we have divided the day/night into watches. 4 hours during the day and 3 at night, this rotating scheme allows us to get different shifts all throughout the passage. For example; Emil: 0000-0300, Orshi: 0300-0600, Mat: 0600-1000, Coral & Ritchie: 1000-1400, Emil: 1400-1800, Orshi 1800-2100, Mat: 2100-0000.
