Next Step - 7th March 2020

Overnight we had a good sailing breeze but it was very wet, I think Nicole had the worst watch as it rained the whole of her watch, she was soaked through by the end. The wind has gone a little lighter but we are still making between 7 and 8 knots, we have now taken the reefs out of the mainsail and genoa. For most of the day it was very cloudy and occasionally looked like rain. We decided that it was time to start fishing so we put a line in with a new red and white lure with a bit of weight in it. After about two hours the fishing line started to run and we all got very excited. We had caught a tuna, but not a very big one! but it was big enough to give the three of us a very nice cerviche tuna lunch. The fishing line went out again in the afternoon but we did not manage to catch anything. In the evening Jeremy made a sausage and beans dish for supper. We put a reef in the mainsail just in case for the night watch and hoped that the wind would stay with us.
