| time to deploy the fishing line again |
We do 3 hour shifts at night, its not enough sleep but it seems to work the best for us, but its always a "call me if you need me" sleep ~ not a long, quiet, uninterrupted one. Last night we were constantly on call, this morning not much better, sleep has been in short supply, the seas are very confused and lumpy, the wind still up and down. The weather may be clearing, it is hard to tell as the squalls seem to appear from nowhere.
Mahi Mahi for dinner last night was excellent, got 4 supersized meals from it.
Nothing else to report.
You can see our progress on a map on our mailasail blog.
