[weather] After 3 days of little wind we are back to solid 20 knot trade winds and are moving again!
[speed] 5-11 knots
[status] Neptune has been very good to us this trip, serving up a second tuna yesterday, and today Fletch hauled in our biggest Mahi mahi yet, which will feed us well for the next week while we explore Martinique. Martinique, which is now less than 120 nm away, and we should be comfortably in there tomorrow afternoon for a Sunday arvo swim, beer, and likely a bit of a nana nap! Everyone's ready for a bit of a break from the rolly nature of the Atlantic - its hard to get solid sleep in a place which feels all of the swell generated from as far south as the Antarctic Ocean, and the North Atlantic, with every breeze in between kicking up its own chop. We're all looking forward to some calm times on anchor in the lee of a Caribbean island, and getting some, amongst other thngs, undisturbed sleep - bliss!
We're out of fresh fruit now, but the last 2 bunches of bananas are finishing strong (thanks Al for the pro-tip!), so we'll be eating them right up til landfall - perfecto! And did I mention its hot?? The sea hit 29.1 degrees today - we're sooooo looking forward to jumping into it!
