We had an unreal sunset with strange colors.

Today a fish grabbed my lure and i reeled in. We then slowed down the boat and that must have given him the chance to spit out the hook. It was a triple hook and i heard that the twin hooks are much better so i might convert that lure as soon as i get twinhooks. I was trying to by them in Canical Madeira but the shop did not have them. So lets wait until Lanzarote.... Tomorrow i will catch one for sure.... damned the one i lost looked nice it might have been a Makarel or Small Tuna, maybe around 40-50cm.

After a nice sunrise we were wondering what strange objects were floating in the water. After one floating by closely we saw it disappearing and so we new that it was an animal. Well, maybe a Scubadiver 100miles off shore? :-) It was a sea turtle. We saw several swimming by and slowed down to show it to Lani. She even poked her head out and was looking at us. It was a nice experience and Lani said "Turtle" since she only knows the english word for it. Breakfast was outside with the very tasty breadrolls from the marina Quinta do Lorde. The breadrolls which are baked in the local bar are fabolous but with 80cent also not too cheap. But to be fair, they are substantially bigger than the usual ones from the supermarket and still warm when you pick them up. They open at 9 so they are nice for those who get up late! We are still motoring with 6knots now and around 2500rpm. We should arrive in Lanzarote at the south tip of the island tomorrow evening. But we still hope for some win...

Well when you are not sailing it is easy to just stop the engines and then jump in. We saw at least 30 turtles aleready and so we thought we might have a short swim as well. It is 4000m deep according to the map and the water is as blue and crystal clear as it can get. Thermometer shows 27 Celcius and so we had a jump in before it put the coffee water in the kettle. So the next really important thing is a coffee around 17.00. No luck with the fishing so far....
