[status] We lifted anchor at approximately 10.30am Wednesday the 5th of December. Jim had gone into town to clear us through customs while Steve and I did a quick supermarket visit for some fresh supplies. We motored through fog for the first day and night which was quite eerie, in flat calm seas and little to no wind. It was my birthday and Jim bought a cake while in town, and it made for a great passage snack. We were audience to an awesome sunset when we emerged from some fog, which we eventually left behind overnight. There?s lots of tankers, fishing boats, and cargo vessels out here so watches are busy keeping clear of everyone. In the morning we put the lures out and caught a nice fat little tuna. The wind gradually picked up and we hoisted the sails and shut off the engines. We?re now just waiting to see if the Nato warship that has been visiting and questioning other boats will come see us or not.
