Double Vision - Log day 6

Greetings from Double Vision where, despite lolling in light winds, morale is good bolstered by the good food and company we are enjoying. Nick, a fishing virgin, has caught his first two fish allowing us to enjoy 'pan fried line caught mahe mahe' and today a 'thai style mahi mahi curry'. Napoleon said an army marches on its stomach and Double Vision takes this seriously. Our sour dough survives for bread, and the only fresh food casualties are a few soggy mandarins. We have no freezer but the fridge is keeping our meat frozen at the back, although if Nick carries on with his fishing success we will be donating our chicken to the ocean. Poached eggs on crushed avocado, fusilli Bolgnaise, sausages in honey and mustard dressing, and homemade guacamole have been other highlights and we have only used 4 of our 48 onions so far.

We are so sorry to hear about our new friends on Odysseus retiring and the misfortunes of our lovely pontoon neighbours Desert Eagle and Tuvalu's but look forward to hearing their tales when they reach St Lucia. We wish all boats a fair wind, or any wind actually.

Kate
