No fish for Casamara…….

No Fish and oh my goodness, Day 3 already…

Hi everyone, no fish!

Another blue sky day. We are now heading to the north of the Cape Verde islands and going further South to obtain more wind. We had an attempt at fishing which was unsuccessful, no fish. We have fired up the watermaker and it appears to be working. We are all settling into a routine and had a great lunch consisting of a selection of cold meats and cheeses, brown bread and a spinach, red pepper and feta cheese salad.

Both LED lights that I purchased from Marc the LEd shop in Las Palmas have failed which is very annoying. SP

By late afternoon our thoughts had once again turned to food. Our meals are without doubt fantastic occasions, when we all sit together, regardless of who’s on watch and chat about the day. Earlier we tried one of our GN Espace vacuum sealable containers to speed marinate some diced beef with red wine, garlic and a few herbs thrown in. I was truely delighted with the result, as the air was forced out, it created an instant infusion of the marinade with the meat. Really made for a most enjoyable evening’s supper, along with some mashed potatoes and green beans. Tomorrow we are going to get serious about the fishing, so watch this space! JK
