Ghost - DAY 4 - WE CAUGHT FISH!!!!

Well again we are happy to say we are all well and good on board. The winds have eased a bit, the sea state is more manageable and most importantly we are having a great time. Yesterday was very sunny. Plenty of sun bathing, showers on the aft deck, sundowners around 4-430ish and dinner served at 5pm. Pretty tough life. Right now Stefano is preparing a fabulous apple walnut and blue cheese salad. Life is tough!

Even though it was a relaxing day we put in our best 24 hour run yet, nailing a good 223miles all in the right direction!! We were a little gutted to see the previous day's effort show as only 103 miles even though we had a 190plus mile run. A function of running to two straight sides of the triangle not the diagonal. We are hopefull that coming south will pay off considering so many went west early. But as is echo every year. This is a rally not a race!!

So on top of the 223 mile day we caught a fish early this morning. Put the line out and within about 15 mins we had a bite! Reeled him in... no worries! We think it is/was a Mahi Mahi being green with a steep forehead.

Nevertheless he's been topped and tailed, descaled and wrapped in foil with butter, lemon and parsley for the BBQ tonight!

We've only seen a couple of other boats way off in the distance, some sea birds come and go as do the dolphins and more recently a couple of schools of flying fish skimming along the surface.

That's it from all on GHOST.
