Greetings from latitude 23 degrees north, 62 degrees 41 minutes west. We are 3 days out from Bermuda and 3 days to go to Nevis Island in the Caribbean (Your geography lesson is to look up Nevis Island). We are in the middle of nowhere!!
Caught a beautiful Mahi Mahi a couple of days ago, and you guessed it, sashimi for a snack. Absolutely devine. Landed a Wahoo this morning about 3 feet long and 9 lbs or so, more good eatin'.
Last night a flying fish sailed across our bow, bounced off the dodger and landed inside the gunwales starboard side. Tried to grasp it in my hand with a goal of fresh tobiko (flying fish roe - the tiny little orange eggs found on the outside of many sushi rolls) but alas a bit of wriggle and free again into the night and abyss.
Back on deck to finish off our watch under broken clouds and in anticipation of shooting the sun at noon - time to learn how to use a sextant. The stars are amazing and learning new constellations nightly.
Over and out!
Jonathan
