Maroro - Maroro - Nov 30 am report

Good morning!

It’s the early watch of 4-7am onboard Sailing Vessel Maroro. All is going well.

Yesterday was full of excitement as day 5 of the Maroro Fishing Tournament saw the lovely catch of our first tuna. There was some confusion as to which team the fish should be accredited to as the *Tiburoncín Ooh Ahh Ahh* team had set the line while the *Atún Dorado Radioactivo* team reeled it in. It took awhile to filet the fish as BoatSchool begged for some biology curiosity and we explored the contents of this beautiful fish’s stomach - 5 little squid and 2 small flying fish! The rest of him will be a tasty lunch today and tomorrow!

We have also been enjoying rousing games of Monopoly, Rummy and Continental. While yesterday the boys broke out the Legos and there was some serious building taking place. Evening sea states have been kind enough to allow us to enjoy movie night - Top Gun 1 & 2…the classic Captain Ron (one of our crew is considering following in his footsteps once we get to the Caribbean! Inspiration comes from the most surprising of places!!)

While we started the crossing with a conservative sailing plan and mindset to just enjoy the ride…we have gained confidence in our the boat and in the ability of our crew to handle her…and our inner competitive sailor spirit is awakening, pricking our interest in downloading position reports more often then usual…can we cut down a few miles between us and the next boat? Come on wind! Don’t let us down!!

Grenada, here we come! Just a little left to go!
