flying fish that we have lost complete interest in them by now.
I have to admit we had a funny intorduction to their strange slying
patterns yesterday when we had our first visitor, a relatively big
flying fish scoring through a small hatch and ending up in the boat!
Learning, never underestimate risks: the chances of hitting a closed dry
hole in the middle of the ocean is 200cm2/million square miles, and it
still happens
We had two more scores: one flying fishing hitting Tom and another
hitting me on deck. Otherwise, we had to keep an eye open to throw away
any further introdours back into the sea.
still keeeping a great sailing rithim, 15-25 knots, swells... Several
gybes a day to keep the right angle. and still gaining miles over the
rest of the fleet. We are now ranking 4th, and trying to close on our
next rival which was 60 miles ahead on rum line last night. Some good
racing going on.
Final note of the day: it's getting really really hot here. 30 degrees
out on deck, 35-40 down below, not the best of choices to make among
direct sunlight and heat, or no wind and more heat. It will become worse
at the equator, trying to prepare myself for it...
So much for the news of the day
Keep an eye on me:)
