06.15. 29 05N 61 34W. Sea temp 28degC, air temp 27 degC. A little breeze
all night long, sailed average 4kn all night. Nicey nicey! Might have a
whole day without being lashed to the tiller and the noisy engine on.
Whatever will I do with the free time?? Might think about making some bread.
Think about it anyway. Tried once before ages ago and seem to remember it
coming out at least edible. Closest I´ve got recently was mixing up some
flour and water (and a little anchovy paste!) to use as bait for fishing off
the dinghy. Not quite the same but can´t be that different. Anyway, another
beautiful day, boat sailing very calmly north at about 4kn. All is well with
the world. I read in one of the pilot books that we have been crossing close
to the eastern edge of the sargasso sea. So that´s what all the floating
seaweed is about. Playing havoc with the fishing, the lures get covered in
seaweed straight away so trolling for fish has been postponed for the time
being. Number of fish being caught seems unaffected by this drastic action.
