Reel 'em in, Sashimi time

Day 11 - Tuna Time on the final straight

With Are-beef-er in sight there was a great disappointment that 1,300 miles hadn't produced any fish for dinner. Boom. The lines went nuts. This one was going to need the belt harness lads. With victory in sight he was brought along side to hook up until all happened again, slipped lose almost ripping through the gloves. Round 2. Reel in again. 
Hooked up on deck, bludgeoned to death with a crank handle and here we are, dinner for 5 for 2 nights...

Guts out, meal for the sharks...

Some prime filleting time...

A serious sashimi cut...


Sushi time boys n gals...
Shame you missed this mr fishy ;)
Sea to plate in 2 hours, sashimi and savicci...

Now for the money maker, Caribbean style blackened fish n chips. 

Full. Now that's a way to keep the copious amounts of snacking on the final night watch down.  

Last night watch complete. Fluent in Spanish. Professional solitaire player. Expert radar watcher. Chocolate and sweet connesseur. 



Day 12 - Ibiza to Palma de Mallorca

Only 70 miles to go to Palma, this is the nicer side to Ibiza ...

Change of plan, running low on fuel so pulling into Ibiza to grab some grub and fuel for the afternoon. 

Old town Ibiza...

The final destination in sight, Titos get ready...
It's been a great journey, 16 days, 1600 miles, 1 storm, great crew, good sailing, great food, serious sea legs. Now for the beers. Cheers.
