The last 24 hours have been reasonably comfortable, with the swell subsiding to around 2M - enough for Paul to throw out a lure and snag a good sized Mahi-Mahi ... it's fish for us for the next few days! We maintained our wing on wing sail plan and as at 0800 this morning, we had ticked off a further 145NM for this passage.

We feel confident that we've now skirted the ITCZ. The wind has shifted to a more definite SE trade pattern and the Grib file this morning showed a constant 15-20 knots over the next 24 hours. Accordingly, we have cracked off more WSW, changed our sails back to standard main and headsail arrangement and are doing a steady 6-7 knots. There's a rolling swell of around 2.5M off our port side and we're coasting along nicely.

Good to hear the Dockers had another win on the weekend! All well onboard.
