Greetings from yacht Ensemble!
Another good day of sailing. We put the genakker back up - and got some more miles in at a good average speed of around 8 knots. The sea swell has eased from 2-3m to 1m - and it is comfortable sailing. The temperature is surprisingly cool during the evenings - given how close we are to the equator (10 degrees south).
We had our usual 'catch' of flying fish - another 8 ranging is size from 1cm to 12cm. Given our lack of success in the more traditional fishing (we lost another lure) - we decided to prepare a more unusual breakfast for Joel: a flying fish sandwich - and this seemed to go down a treat (he was pretty hungry). Although I'm not sure this one will make it into Magali's cook book...
Lunch was gnochi with pesto sauce - and dinner was stir fry scallops - so we're not starving!
Today we should reach the half way point - only 1500 nm to go!
Cheers
Dave & Magali
