Hello to all again:
Pos: 20 57N 31 48 W at 2200 UTC
Now it starts to feel like we really are under way, 1/3 is already done and we are still very much alive! Now we are also starting to be comfortable with the situation and we have not had any further mis-haps, vice versa!
Yesterday Neptune send us a 3 kg Mahi Mahi that we had for lunch with a cold Albarino from Rias Baixas so that was great. During the process of trying to get Mr Fish onboard we lowerd all sails and that moment we then used for a swim as well (it was a bit tricky because the boat went 3 knots even whitout sails)! We let a 20mtr line out from the aft of the boat and then we threw ourself in the sea from the front, and then just focused on catch the line..... fortunantely we did!!!
For the last 48hrs we have had VHF contact with Night Song and we know that here is at least 3-4 boats within approx 20NM so it feels a bit crowded.
We also had a whale visitor that swam along with us for some 30 min, it was a bit spooky because it went from side to side and sometimes under the boat. It freeks one out when the echo sound has been on error for the last week (it only measures up to 200mtrs) and all of a sudden it shows 1.6 mtrs!!!
We have been flying both the Genaker and the spinaker until this afternoon when wind turne a bit too much from the North and also gaind strength up till 25 knots and some 3,5 mtr waves, (we had a surf of 14,5 knots but that was over doing it a bit for this cat)
Now winds seem to weer moore to the east so we might change sails again during night.
Tomorrow we have a big day because Felix is turning 4 years, so its going to be a big party! Serpentines and baloons are going to bee all over and Sofi has baked all day today so it should bee good.
This was just a small uppdate so take care and hasta la proxima!
