it was HUGE!

..so big we lost not just our lovely fluorescent green squid but 100m of fishing line from my small Penn reel!

At least the weather is getting warmer. I´ve gone from wearing 2 hats, 2 trousers, 2 fleeces, socks and boots to one of each minus the boots, and in the day time we can now don shorts and t-shirt - hopefully bikinis soon (Axel looks very well in a bikini! ;-))! Them bones are a warmin! The water temp has risen from about 8-10°C to approx 18°! No swims for us out here tho´; we´ll wait for a calm day and warmer waters for that. In the meantime we settle for a cold saltwater shower in the cockpit (followed by a fresh rinse!).

Just after sunset on a clear evening we have a wonderful view of a Comet with its long tail, just south of where the sun sets and where Venus is visible. Its low in the horizon so not sure how from north its visible. That will keep us company for another 2 weeks apparently...

The fridge is running great and providing us with a much greater variety of fresh fruit & veg than we´ve ever had over the last 2.5 years!
Ciao for now
