“17:13,79 52:35,69W”
We have the best team of fisherman on board this
year “Fish 3” “crew 0”, evening started off well
with a lot of photos of everyone mucking around and having a great time and then
the great thrill of catching a very big Mahi mahi just to get it on deck
before it said “not this time “ as it slipped from the hands of our resident
fisherman and waved good buy . Oh well we need the practice, as you may remember
we lost a nice sailfish a few days ago. so we re hooked our rod and set about
setting it again only to have a helms do a 360 pirouette backwards so that the
line wrapped around the keel and we tried to fish like that for the
night (doesn't work we can vouch for that .) So after a removal we
set about only to be lucky enough to catch yet another Mahi Mahi . This time no
getting away Paddy agreed . Seeing this lovely fish coming toward us was a sight
soon to be over ridden by a O S??. as Mahi Mahi said good buy again . The hook
came free yet again. After a quick team meeting everyone agreed that we should
change to 3 prong from single, so lets see what that dose for us .
The other thing that seams to be going around the yacht is nails been
painted on who ever falls asleep and that means everyone . I've removed it twice
and yet again I wake up with red toe nail . Thanks guys I've been trying to show
my feminine side for many years . I thought that I had hidden all the bottles
last time.
We also know that when you make a spinnaker made for a 45 foot 14 tonne
yacht it doesn't hold up to a 50 foot 19 tonne yacht demonstrated this morning
with a old one I was given to use in stronger winds .
Thanks for the use of it , I now have 2 if you want them back .
Besides all the drama daily we are all getting along really well . no
organised over boards at this stage. No walk the plank and no food poisoning so
all is great . Food great, winds great, company great and sun sea swimming
,showers and our yacht Hanse Sailor performing fabulously . come on Saint
Lucia
Talk over next few days if sat phone credit still good
