Marlin

Our sail from Cape Town to st Helena has been a fairly quiet one with the only frustration being the lack of wind to take us there! We have delivery crew on for the leg back to the Caribbean. Bryony has gone to do a cookery course back in England to make use of the time so it is myself, tosh, roger who has jumped from boat to boat and Richard who sailed the ARC with us. Unbeknown to anyone else, one morning roger had put the fishing gear out of the back and the only announcement we received from this was a few hours later when the line went mad. We had hooked a white marlin weighing quite a lot (we don't have big enough scales) and of about 7 foot in length. We are going to be eating this one for a long time!
