Day 49 13 Mar 2010

04,46.95N  51,33.61W  We are in dark green sea, 
diluted by the Amazon river water. The current is 3 knots,
 so we are moving at 10 Knots! The sea is calm so we 
can do this speed. We are trying to move fast to get through 
the fishing boats before dark. Its a nightmare watching 
out for them at night. They set out lines of nets.
Yesterday was a record fish day, we caught 8!!
4 Blue fin Tuna, largest 10lbs, 65cm. 4 smaller, 
Eastern little Tuna(Mackrel tuna). Today we had 
seared tuna for lunch..yum. Also pickeled some and 
froze some. The best was giving 2 to Searenity who 
were catching, but not landing fish. We drove close to 
each other and threw the fish onto their boat. They 
were a happy crew. NO more rods out!
Its really boring now, we are watching movies twice a day.
 The movie Invictus is great, the world cup rugby story. 
A movie every South African should see.
Tomorrow we will be at Iles du Salut, great, we will be
on land again. Do you know who was imprisoned here?
