Wonderful 36 hours sailing in perfect tradewind conditions with everyone in relax mode. We have had the gennaker up all morning and the crew have been on special alert looking for the poor fishermen who were lost in this area yesterday. The SAR plane has been flying a search pattern a couple of miles to the north west. The fishing continues to be good with wahoo and tuna on the menu in various guises. The skipper has decreed a curry (fish of course) and lager night as we have just about reached the half way point of this leg. Strictly one can of lager each. The large stem of bananas hanging under the bimini is ripening well and provide the watch with instant snacks in the cockpit. I am cooking tonight so if nothing is heard from us again you all know why. We have just had the first squall in 2 days but the majority of it missed us.
