It's raining fish, day 15.

We've literally gotten fish every day even though the weather has been too bad for fishing. Just this evening a flying fish jumped into the cockpit right beside me! Maybe not the worst experience, but adding that the window to my bed was wide open, centimeters from the fish, it was a real near death experience.
Flying fish are rather small, but their wings are as long as their bodies and they can actually fly several meters before they go under the sea (or onto our boat). Pretty sweet, but eventually pretty annoying as well.

Weather has changed from rough to pleasant, and we're now flying the parasailor really superfast!
Today we also broke a "squall" record, having "squalls" going on for three hours straight. (What we believe to be "squalls" is the mini rain storms lasting about 20 minutes each. Nobody told us they were that common. :( )
Tomorrow morning I'm ready for cheap German chocolate! Happy December!
Ellie out.
