Galapagos - Marquesas Day 14

Another day of light winds. The forecast promised wind today but none arrived. Instead we plodded along at 4 - 5 knots (1.5 knots of which was current!). However, we did catch two fish, a good sized Wahoo and then a couple of hours later a large Mahi Mahi (or Dorado). We had the Blue Fin Tuna from yesterday for lunch (it was only quite small) and then had half the Wahoo for tea. Kate has banned me from fishing now until we have eaten the rest of the Wahoo and the 2-3 meals worth of Mahi Mahi in the fridge! The wind finally filled in at 5am this morning and we are now back to good speeds again - although with it comes the bigger seas!
