Day 12 4th Feb 2010

After 2 very turbulent days with the swell side on and 
wind we have had 2 wonderful calm days. The swell 
in more from behind and the wind has dropped. 
The water temp is 24C and we are at last wearing 
summer clothes! Yesterday we caught our first Dorado,
 65cm long. Krasni says it was a young fish and it was 
a wonderful golden colour. Great eating! I have my sea 
legs and am able to join Kras and Mashelle in READING! 
The guys transfered the fuel from the bladder tank today, 
464l into the fuel tanks. From the rough seas the yacht 
was covered in salt so she got a wash down today, 
all fresh again. Toasted chicken mayo sandwiches for 
lunch and lamb curry tonight. Then the food we cooked
 in Walvis is finished and we will raid our still full freezer, 
unless we catch more fish. In the morning we have 
'flying' fish on the deck which are tossed back. 
The sea in an amazing blue. Half way to St Helena!
