En route to Antigua

We woke up at 06.15 and decided to have breakfast at the anchorage. So at around 7 we brought the anchor up and set sail to Antigua. The wind grib files said the wind should be around 20 knots in the beginning and then slow down a bit. So we started with a reef in the mainsail and did around 7.5 knots of speed over ground.
At around 09:00 i took the reef out and we are now udner full sails doing 7 knots since the wind already eased to aroun 15 knots but with a convienent 90 degrees angle. The waved are around 1.5 to 2m and are coming from a 45 degree angle to the main wind direction of the last days. So far conditions are as they were predicted. It is now 09:02 local time and we have around 3.5hours to go (28miles).

The sun is shining and so the solar panels are producing power but it is to bumpy to let the watermaker run. I am always afraid that it might suck in air and cause problems so i do not switch it on if it is to rough. We still have around 2x200liter of water in our tanks.

Currently around 100 seagulls are flying around us and i hav!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And here the sentenc estopped because the fishing reel started to run. I wanted to write "and i have the feeling they are following some predators."
Now it is 30 minutes later and we have a nice fresh TUNA on board.

I will post pictures later. To reel him in we had to take away the genoa and turn into the wind otherwise the brake was not holding and almost all my line was pulled out.
Now the fish is in and the sails are up again and we are doing 7.6 knots again.
The sun is shining and life is good :-)

An here are the pictures. What a nice small piece of Sushi :-) I tasted it and it tasted good.
