Not much excitement to report from here, yesterday and today Sunflower would have been in her perfect element, nicest possible sailing with 2 reefs, staysail and just a wrap or 2 on the Genoa with the wind behind at 120 degrees. But no, poor Sunflower is left waddling like a duck with 3 reefs in the main and nothing else trying to go as slow as possible to make Bundaberg Monday morning, so far we are on time and won't have to heave to and wait.
The freezer also started working again in the early hours of this morning which is great news although it is still not really tropical rum and coke weather as today it is all grey sky's and drizzle rain, hopefully today is the day though we will catch a fish.
Hasn't really been fishing weather so far but we have landed a couple of really big flying fish but I let them go alive. A fishing boat went astern of us yesterday "Esbjorn" I tried to call them up thinking they might be Aussie and want a chat but they didn't respond, must be French
