Atlantic crossing on Annecam
2,156 miles complete with 716 to go
We have sailed right into the middle of a high pressure system with zero wind, we have spent the last 30 odd hours trying to motor our way across the hole and so far we have not found any wind to help us on our way.
After several days with nothing to report on except the few flying fish landing on the deck, that all changed today with a nice Mahi Mahi of well over a metre in length took one of the surface lures. After a chase using Annecam as a game boat and a gaff that required some straightening after we managed to haul it into the cockpit.
Life is very peaceful out on the Atlantic Ocean on Annecam.

More from crew member Sarah:

Also thanks to my lovely Sister Rachel, you really brightened my day when I could imagine you being blown across the yard with your hay in the gale force winds you had not long ago, bless you, I'm sure the horses didn't mind waiting and weren't laughing inside.

So I've caught a fish, thrown dead flying fish and a dead squid back into the ocean that landed on the boat the night before, then last night while I was on watch, just as Cam had started the generator, I screeched out, I had just been clobbered on the back of the head and part of my cheek, I think I was right in the path of a very stunned flying fish, both me and it. How rude and my goodness I could not stop myself from laughing which also made Cam laugh too as it landed on his toe after hitting me.

You see, to you guys it's just a little thing that happened, but to us, like I said before, any excitement is great and that was pretty exciting. I hope you all are enjoying reading about our little adventure, I love hearing from you guys as it keeps us sane, (well maybe). Anyway I love my family and miss my special best friend Mark, who is the one responsible for putting me on this journey to success, thank you and I'm sure you're doing a great job in looking after Belle the dog, (Yoghurt) and hope you manage to find yourself a fantastic little property.

I love you all loads and will see you all sometime in the near future. Signed, St....r, Scarem and Sarahcol xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
