Laura Dawn - Pacific Log 13: Where are all the fish?



Seriously, we haven't even had a tickle on the lines, even the flying fish have stopped throwing themselves on the deck!? Maybe pacific fish are not fans of plastic glittery squid! Maybe they've seen it all before and know not to bite! We ate all of our freezer fish stocks before we left, in the anticipation of catching more along the way, so are feeling a little disappointed. Not that we've eaten badly at all, creamy chicken pasta last night and pork casserole, mash and veg tonight, fresh bread daily for our lunch sandwiches,and snacks a plenty, although I'm afraid to report that the tomatoes have finally fallen and we are all out.

The wind is dropping now and we're getting 16 - 18 knots, so have a full main back up and full Genoa making about 7 knots. Its almost asymmetric weather, so tomorrow is a possibility if this holds out. The swell has reduced, so the rides a little easier most of the time and the squalls seem to be a little less now. Only 426 miles to go, we are getting close! Better get those lines back out in the hope of proudly landing something (anything!) before we get in..
