Yesterday, we got a second sea bird, that we released, but they came back with a revenge..
Had a quiet night watch except for the sea birds that attacked our Tri-color light and messed around with our wind indicator.

We have reached the trade winds a few hours ago,
and we have catch our first fish: a nice yellow tail tuna, sashimi and tacos for lunch.

Every body got their sea legs by now and we are enjoying the beautiful weather..
