News from the fleet
Report back from FRYD
All well aboard , except for my electrical toilet not flushing very well. Something to do with the fact that we did change the sea water inlet and there now being air in the pipes…However, the water maker seems to work well, so now we are using fresh water to flush the toilet…
Besides this little nuance, all well aboard.
Even the fishing is going well!
After first having lost a big son of a bitch of a fish, Andrew caught a nice yellow tail yesterday evening. And this morning, lots of action as he got a really big dorado on the hook. We fought a hard game and finally landed the fish on the scoop of Fryd, started to reposition the gaff, blood everywhere in the cockpit, but then suddenly we lost the fish from the gaff and the bastard slipped back in the ocean…, all this while running the kite, and the boat moving at full speed.
Early morning action!
So, fish / Andrew 2/1. But, trust me he has not given up yet!
So, anyway, to all of you sailors who have filled your boats with (horrible) dry food. We are having fresh yellow tail for dinner tonight!
Bon Apetito!

Last 24 h have been good. Only wrapped the kite around the forestay twice and had to drop it to free it up. Once by Cameron, once by Michael. Made some small holes in the kite as a result which we repaired this morning. Wind is a good 20 knots and we are making 8-12 knots over the ground. Loving our journey so far… 😀⛵️

News : all good here, no problem this last night. Angel Wings crossed us 0.6 nm at night. To celebrate we had a happy hour last sunset.
