[status] Another steady day sailing along, reaching along with main and screacher in 10 to 15kn

Sun popped out for awhile, and it's a bit warmer.. the coconut oil is liquid again. It went solid for the first 2 day!

We made a slight detour to pass over the gemini sea mount to try for some fish. Amazing to see tidal streams and turbulence in the water in the middle of the ocean. We found a few areas that we're only 40 to 60m deep.

Quite a bit of sea life - we lost 2 lures and landed a nice yellowfin tuna .. all within 10mins! We did a few more passes and got smashed again, unable to stop yet another screaming reel and lost a third lure.. same as the last two. Quite exciting! Kirstine was up next and hooked a big shark.. took about 15min to get to the boat so we could cut it loose. We had about 8 sharks circling the boat by that stage!

What a fishing spot. We we're lucky the sea was calm enough to drop by.

After cleaning the fish, we had "tuna 3 ways" - sashimi, seared fillets, and lime marinated tuna. Now we're not hungry for the pre made beef rendang, so snacks for dinner and more fish tomorrow.

All well on board and settling in for the night watches. 2 more nights at sea for us.

Hi to everyone back home! :)
