We had times yesterday when we were thrown about and others when it wasn't too bad, It calmed down nicely for the night and it was quite a nice night with bright full moon although cloudy. Not that I saw much of it as I slept well.
We saw a Ray during the day and at about 6.00pm we saw a stick with a flag on it off the port side, later we saw one off the starboard side and we were able to sail up to it to have a look. No idea what it was just a stick with a black plastic float and a fishing float tied to it. Position was 01.36.75S 92.52.07W at 6.30pm. We were in about 3000 meters of water.
Today the seas are down a bit and we have had sunshine but its not too hot, just comfortable. We took out the reef this morning as winds have been constant at 10 - 14k and we seem to have been doing 6+k although we have the plotter off to conserve power and don't really need it as there's nothing much to look at.
Jim had 3 bites yesterday but all got away and nothing at all today.
