Day 25, 17 Feb 2010

08h00 We arrived at Ascension island at 6pm yesterday.
5 miles out there was great excitement as all the lines started
whizzing. We lost 2 Dorados with lures and managed to land one
1m long Dorado. Rob had fun playing one of them but it broke
off at the boat. 
Had fun feeding the 'Trigger fish' (pretty black and blue, size of a mans hand) with
 the Dorado bits. Today the swells are huge,so may not get to go ashore. 
Lots of large Turtles about, these are Turtle breeding beaches. 
Lets hope we get ashore. 
17h00 Just had a fish feast with Searenity crew. 
Cant get ashore, leaving for Fernando de Noronha now. 
7 day trip.

  1. Dear Sea Wolff, Sorry that you missed going ashore but at least you saw another land mass and met some other travellers - great fellowship!

  2. Dear Sea Wolff, Trust you have fair weather to Fernando de Noronha - never been there - Rio for me but a long way South! Must be super to see Searenity rising and falling with the swells. Energy saving BUT lots of work!
