We had another good day, racking up 191 nautical miles in 24 hours (8am - 8 am). The wind picked up so we are now flying the Main and the Jib. Winds are around 25 knots, so we put in pretty impressive numbers with that line-up.
By 4.00pm we had caught up to all the boats that sprinted ahead under engines.
This makes us "King for a Day", leading the Multi-hull cruising class.
BUT, soon we will have to jibe and that will see us fall back again as to will take us South, rather than West. This is when we need the Parasail, as this last stretch is downwind sailing.
Last night when itt was getting close to dinner time and we were planning to have pasta. I put out the fishing line, not expecting to catch anything as we were doing up to 12 knots. But a short while later Byron noticed the rod bend and he reeled in a nice Mahi Mahi. This resulted in a quick menu change!

Success, dinner for six:
Rudy also has some remarkable fishing skills and is able to catch 6 fish at a time!
