1000 Nm

Position: 16°27.418N/31°30.746W, Saturday Nov. 26th , 21:35 UTC

Today we hit the 1000 nm milestone :-) For Jur, Rutger and me the first time we sailed such a distance in one trip. To celebrate this I backed pancakes with bacon which we ate with honey :-)

Today we also had to start fishing, the last bugers had gone off and we let them go...
It didn't take too long before the rattle started going but unfortunately the fish let go... it must have  seen the burgers … :-) That happened a few times today so we ended up eating a delicious carbonare cooked by Rutger.

Jur by the way had some more luck with the fish.. when he went to the foredeck for a shower he came back with a flying fish that had landed on deck.

Rutger and Marc played a game called: I see, I see what you don't see and the collar is …
After an hour or so they finally decided that this was not a very good game to play on a boat mid Atlantic...

Anyway, the weather is great and tonight the sky is crystal clear full of stars, the wind is okay and slowly backing to NE and we're on our way to the next milestone, the half way passage
