Uneventful night. Ship passed a few miles ahead around 4am heading south
west. Another about an hour ago behind going north east. We´ve just crossed
the rhum line between Straits of Gibraltar and the mono passage (between
Puetro Rica and Dominican Republic) so maybe they´ve either come from or are
going to the med. Quicker than me wherever it is. Wind has a touch more
north in it, course around 350deg which is not in the exact right direction
but no too badly wrong either. And the good news is I caught almost 2 fish.
At the same time! Hand line went then seconds later the rod. There´s a nice
size tuna in the fridge now from the hand line, the rod had a big Mahi Mahi
which was close to the boat after about 15 minutes but one final leap and
wriggle dislodged the hook so he lives to fight another day. It was too big
for me anyway, even in the fridge it would have gone off so is good that he
got away, beautiful neon blue and green leaping through the air. But sushi
for lunch and tuna stew for dinner tonight. Excellent. Yum yum with wasabi.
