It was sad that we could not go ashore at
Ascension isl, but we had a nice break.
The huge swells were set to stay a few days
and there is no protected landing jetty. Its a
British isl with a USA airforce base. We had a
fly past of 3 F16 as entertainment. The Canadian
yachty next to us said the fresh produce market
was closed anyway. He was a chatty fellow,
he and his wife had been sailing for 7 yrs! Great
excitement as we left we caught a 65cm long,
black fish with a big flat head. It provided excellent
meat which we made into pickled fish. Today Rob
had the fun of fighting a Marlin till the line snapped.
Between the two yachts we have now lost 6 lures
and burnt out a reel. Searenity is ave 6 knotts so
we are staying together. She looks pretty with the
Spinaker flying. Today they got up to 7.5 knots.
