Sailing at the southern coast...

The weather is good, but pretty cold and for the Brazilians, very, very freezing - around 9º Celsius. Outside, penguins and sea lions make it clear to us that we are going to a nice fishing area.

The first albatrosses appeared, we are right now at 27º 43,03' S with 48º 31,49' W and I take this opportunity to ask the crew to build the tori line which will be used on this fishing cruise.

We have a good moon, and it is very good to know that I can count on the entire collaboration of the crew to test the use of the tori line on board.

At the end of the afternoon, the weather started to change. A cold wind is coming which might cause some difficulties in starting the fishing activities. The skipper decided to sail to a protected bay until the sea became easier...
