Another HOT, sunny, windless day in the trade winds belt. Where is the wind? We have come very far south to look for the wind but there appears to be none, nor does it look like there will be any for the next few days. Concerto is doing a great job of being a power boat! Rob and I both hooked some small (arms length) Mahi Mahi’s this morning, Rob got his onboard for a photo but I lost mine before the net could pick him up. It was big enough to eat but as we’ve had enough Mahi Mahi we put him back to save ourselves (and the freezer) for a large Tuna!
Lunch was another fancy affair from Clare, the last of the Mahi Mahi steaks, with a lime, garlic and coriander Grantin, salad and some freshly baked bread, was rather tasty!

We had another swim this afternoon whilst waiting for fuel to transfer and the engine to cool down to do its daily checks. Good to get some exercise after all the good food and to cool down from the hot tropics sun!

Here’s hoping the trade winds will pick up at some point!
