Greetings from yacht Ensemble!
The first day's sailing has been surprisingly good - with enough wind to let us switch off the engine early in the morning. We have made good about 250nm - with only 2750nm to go!
The winds have been around 10 knots from the SE - and that added to a current of around 1.5 knots. So good sailing - with the main and the gennaker set - and speeds of 6 - 7 knots.
And to make matters even better we managed to catch our first fish today - a 10kg Mahi Mahi - so fish is on the menu for a while.
Magali now has a student for the kitchen - with Joel keen to mend his bachelor cooking ways! Magali even got Joel to help with the filleting of the fish!
Wish us luck for the wind and the fishing to hold up!
Cheers
Dave & Magali & Joel
