They caught a 3 foot Maui Maui ( dolfin fish ) and averaged 5.5 kts since this AM 372 to go

At 4:30 this afternoon Cat Tales was at 24 43 N and 64 15 W . They were getting about 5 kts of wind on the nose and at this time they were motor sailing on one engine and making about 3 kts. Laurie was planning to start the other engine and he furled the head sail to get the speed back to 6 kts. They were expecting an area of squals this evening. Winds on Thursday should be 15 kts from the East . The fish will be 9 servings or 3 meals for the 3 of them. It is enough food so they stopped fishing. I delivered Grant's travel itinery from the agency and will investigate his leaving a day earlier and give them the results tomorrow. Posted by JOHN
