Into the frying pan

We gybe the mainsail. For the first time these four days. The wind is a little north of east, right on our tail and we have to zig-zag to keep on course.
Yesterday a greedy fish swallowed our "squid" and made off with it. Today, two fish. One, a flying fish, tried to navigate its own way into the frying pan! It flew down the companianway right into the "saloon". Barely missing the skillet.
But just before dinner we haul in another dorado. Fresh fish for dinner today! This time with fried potato-boats, onions, winter squash and peppers. Can't complain.

Today we make contact whith one of the dutch boats, "Lady Jeane", in our vicinity. She and "Catch 22" are also heading for Barbados from Mindelo. They share weather info with us, nice to know we're south of some more stormy weather up towards the Canaries.
