Dear all,
It's sushi day! The day started with sunshine
and we killed the motor after 2 hours of motoring and it started well with the
first catch of our trip. It's good and bad news together. The bad news is that
the speed was low, about 5 knots, which turned into good news to catch a
dorade Dolphin, Dorade or Mahi Mahi (whatever it's called in this area)of
8.5 kg. It did not give way untill it was on the deck. The fishing hook was
attached to its back fin. Obviously the Fish was short sighted! Anders is the
master fisher and worked his balls off to get it in. After a great slaughter
party we had some nice filets and the menu is now known for the comming 24 hours
and it will be fish, fish and fish. This afternoon sashimi. For the 5 O'clock
beer Sushi and for dinner Pineapple Dorade with green peppers. Tommorrow morning
fish and chips and Sushi for the 12 o'clock beer. By now you know the chef is
writing this Blog. Wind is still not great but we make speed anyway if you
considder the circumstances 11 knots off wind and going on a average speed off
7,8 knots. Not bad all together. Last night periods with no wind and we were
even heading to the Azores to catch some wind. This was the right way to do it
according Michel and his philosophy. This is of course a small inside joke.
We just turned around in the dark because we were trying to find the wind. Gone
with wind however is an old fashioned book and we thought different. So we went
back on course heading for St. Lucia. Okee dear reading public.
Until tomorrow with an other writer.
Chef Chris
