Wednesday, 3rd of October, 2007 wind 15 knots, some sun so the batteries are
being charged,
S 17 16, E 166 10. 11 00 UTC, 125 Nm from Vanuatu The wind is good,
maybe 15 knots. Sea is a little rolly as it comes just from my stern. 1200 Nm
to go.
I caught a fish today. A tuna I believe and only good to make a mess.
All the cockpit was red and sticky. Not much meat was left when I
finished gutting the fish out as my knife was not sharp neither am I
good at doing so. When I was trying to gather water over the side of
the boat to wash the place of the murder a big wave threw me on
the tiller. I knocked the autopilot out and almost jibed. That's not
good. I got few bruises, got wet from some waves, inside of the boat
everything was upside down cause of this short change of course
and on the end when packing the red, yet warm fish meat into a Ziploc
it was simply too much for me and I vomited. Now that I'm done many
things smell like fish and it went under my nails and my ring and I
think it is the last fish I needed (or wanted) to clean myself. I want a ready
schnitzel!!
