Catching fish and surfing waves!

Wovser, another amazing day on the water! left Bahia Tortugas around 09.00 and by 09.30 we had wind in our sails. Pretty quickly we were surfing waves at 6 knots. Since we had not caught a fish yet, today was the day …. within 5 minutes the rod started jumping and I grabbed it, but wind also picked up and we lost our fish. Within another 5 minutes another fish was on the hook and we managed to slow the boat enough so we wouldn’t lose it this time. It took about an hour and a half of reeling it in until it was on our cockpit.

The rest of the sail was absolutely divine. We kept an average of 7.5 knots and hit 8.4 knots while surfing down waves…

Sun is setting earlier every night. Tonight sunset was at 17.50….

We just arrived to Asuncion in the dark… I’m excited to wake up and see what it looks like… Goodnight!
