Ahoy, there's no audio file today. We're now 5 hours behind schedule in Europe, which is why we're only reporting in so late. Not much has happened today. Fishing is probably over for good. After we had pulled our remaining line onto the rod, mounted the leader and the last lure, something immediately went into the line: Algae! It's probably brown algae, also known as Sargassum, which floats on the water in long tracks and increasingly in large fields. They get caught in the line and then at the latest on the bait. Several quickly come together and in the end a thick tuft of algae builds up so much pressure that you think you have Moby Dick on the hook. Of course, this is also due to the speed, which is still between 5 and 10 knots, depending on whether you are travelling up or down the wave. After two attempts with the fishing rod, we were definitely happy to be able to reel in the line at all - two men were already working hard on it. We will probably only eat fish from a tin for the time being.
Otherwise we are in good spirits, eating delicious food and more or less getting used to the rocking. The moon also appears now and again and slowly begins to grow, so that the complete blackness of the night gives way to a silvery, shimmering moonlight.
Tomorrow again with an audio file, until then have a good night!
