off-shore passage) was maintained ! Because of the big swells and waves we are not able to follow a
rhumb line for Flores, since that would result on a straight down
wind. Andrea exited in reeling in his first ever fish while blue water sailing.
Andrea's happiness shows in his face when the fish was gaffed and on deck.
What we believe to be a big eye tuna Speed over ground since leaving Bermuda. Unfortunately we lost some of the data around day 6
