Very Windy...

We had another windy night and are flying to Tobago. Our Genoa is only 20 % out and we are doing between 7-8 knots with winds around 30 KN. The sea is not too bad but its still pretty tough. We are getting squeezed against our cushions during our sleep and dancing around in the galley...In these winds i do not miss the main sail.
600 more miles and we should be in Tobago by Friday.
Axel

Lost count of how many fish we caught yesterday; threw about 4 little (1 foot) Bonito (Tuna) back. Too small for us! Then something really big made the line screech but then unfortunately broke it, taking off with our successful fluorescent green squid lure without showing himself/herself. Boohoo! Just some of the events onboard to amuse us.

Late Breaky: Bacon & eggs with bread Axel made in our new doughnut shaped minioven which we found by chance in Brazil. This sits on the gas ring & cooks break/cakes in super quick time - very economical on our propane!
Early Dinner: huge pot of spicy vegy soup with TVP (textured vegetable protein - mayb we´ll keep the next small fish we get!)
Cheers
