Hi Everyone,
Overnight we went over the Indian Ocean basin. Do you know that some areas of it are 6,000m deep! Awesome to think that there are 6km. of water under us. I wonder how big some of the creatures are down there! One yacht once reported being stopped dead in the water and when one of the crew looked out of a porthole (portlight for our USA friends), he saw a huge sucker stuck to it. That must have been an awesome giant squid to have been able to do that. I hope we don’t meet one of them!
Today the swell is smaller 2.5-3.0m so I have once again undertaken some baking (either I have gone nuts or the sailing is doing me some good as my kids will tell you that I never bake!) and am making a sultana cake for morning tea. Together with coffee frappe it should be quite good. Tonight I am also going to use a recipe (yes kids,I am actually going to use one!) to cook some of the Mahi Mahi we caught, in the dream pot.
Today we have perfect sailing conditions – gentle breeze of around 12-15 kn., small swell, sunshine, no humidity. Life doesn’t get much better than this!
Keep well and keep smiling.
All our love
Dimitri and Arti
