Into the frying pan

This could be our last day at sea for a while. St Helena is 55M away and we hope to get there before dark.

We had very light winds yesterday with a lot of motoring but now we have a good breeze again.

Clemencia was sleeping soundly below when she got a slippery surprise. A flying fish flew into the boat and landed just by the cooker! It woke her up flapping around. It was one of the lucky ones because I had to catch it - casing around the cabin floor - and returned it to the sea. The fist time in 43 years of ocean sailing that a fish has jumped into the cabin!
