Hi Everybody,
 
Had steady sail all day yesterday but lost the wind about 10pm. Motoring to get east of the high pressure.
 
The fish have avoided us so far. Yesterday was more eventful, hooked a nice sized dorado but the wire trace gave way and dinner escaped.  I did managed to land one fish on deck though, it wasn't very big or impressive but it is the first of the trip. found a flying fish on deck this morning, that's currently being used as dead bait, should catch us some corkers. Other than the fishing everything else is pretty good.  Adam X
 
Hi Pam and all Quiet night made turn to home!! A little way to go yet though I'm told. Pam how did Sian's diss go as I forgot to ask before.  Wind being awkward as usual coming from the direction of destination - what a surprise but looks as if it may help us later today.  Boat all fine and shipshape - Russ continues to produce great food for us (I did the peeling). Thanks for all the weather info - Ian's on the case too.  Were balancing the high winds too far north against the lighter ones at our position. Bye for now Keep the txts coming Dick
 
Hello again. Now motoring gently with  a light wind on the nose.Weather fine but cooler than of late. Very good cottage pie last night courtesy of Russ good plain cooking after my own heart.Currently working my way through Andrew Robson, but whether anything will stick is another matter.No fish so far today but we`re all hopeful of a fish pie ere long. Any news re office- the sat phone works. Hope all well with you. Mike.
 
Hi. Still enjoying the voyage very much. We have had variable weather but nothing too daunting. Happy to hear that you are homeward bound Matthew, hope you are not kept waiting too long for a flight. There is lots of fishing going on but so far the fish are outwitting the fishermen, it does seem to  be a one sided contest!!
Matthew when you get home could you please check for flights from the Azores to UK, preferably Manchester, maybe around the 16th or 17th April. Can't confirm dates yet but would like some idea. Hope all is well and you Mother is coping. Tony.
