[status] We sailed for a few hours today; nice breeze and good direction; hard on, so strongest apparent wind for us. Better to be hard on in this 5-10kt stuff than reaching.

Caught a tuna this evening; a 10kg Big Eye Tuna. Had some raw with soy, wasabi and ginger. Beautiful. Then I butterfly cut some slabs and lightly fried them in egg and GF flour and some of Loren's secret herbs and spices. Divine.

[status]It's now 1800 25 Oct. You're getting two of these today. An earlier one I did at 0500 this did not go out due to bad propagation. So this one will cover what's happened since this morning.

[status]Very hot day today with light winds. Motor sailing for a while then not even enough wind to fill the drifter. Had a glass of rose in the sun around 4pm on the foredeck - mid Coral sea drinkies !! All well on board and nearly half way :) Cheers J
