Seven flying fish on deck

The grey sky gets a blue wash. And the the sun under the east horizon paints it all magenta and gold. A new day at sea. Any whales??
As compensation we have gotten our first catch: seven flying fish! They´re all sizes from a thumbs length to about a large herring size.

Today will be our last Atlantic day; we´re approaching the Cape Verde Islands. We sail slowly in light winds, the sails flapping. We don´t want to arrive in the dark, so we take it easy.
Meanwhile the genoa starts acting up. It´s wrapped itself around and won't roll in or out. Periodically. We work on this a bit. Give up. Let it sulk while we have chili beans and bacon and veggies dinner. And blueberry jam pancakes. And then suddenly the jenny's willing again. Eventually we just take the whole thing down.

And on we sail, on pancake-calm seas.
