We expected to have the wind diminish towards the end of Day 3 and we were sure that we would need to motor all of Day 4 and Day 5. However, we continued to have great sailing conditions through the night of Day 3 and into the morning of Day 4. We were pleased with each hour of consistent 12-15 knots of wind pushing us gently towards Cape Verde.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after sunrise, we were able to pick up a few close boats (<em>Sameera<\/em> &amp;<em> Jiyu<\/em>) on the VHF radio. We were not able to see the boats on the horizon or AIS, but we knew that they were nearby (10-20 miles away) from our intended course and speed.<\/p>\n<p>The VHF conversation was focused on the numerous flying fish that we had all seen the previous night and the occasional crash-landing of a fish on the deck. <em>Jiyu<\/em> was hit by two flying fish; one landed on the deck and one entered the window and landed below! Since there wasn\u2019t enough meat to feed the family, the crew of <em>Jiyu<\/em> tossed the fish back overboard.<\/p>\n<p>This discussion immediately encouraged Dorian and Anneka to scan the decks of Laridae, and sure enough, they found one fish on the port deck. Unfortunately for the fish (and for our breakfast plans), the poor choice of flight path was too long ago, and the fish was well dead (and partially dehydrated).<\/p>\n<p>As you do with young kids on board, and plenty of time on your hands, we immediately started to dissect the fish and examine its stomach contents. After that short biology lesson, the obvious next step was to use the fish as a lure. After inserting a hook through its mouth, we connected it to our fishing line and tossed it overboard \u2013 thereby starting the next science lesson about the food chain.<\/p>\n<p>Dorian went into the common endless loop thoughts of an inquisitive nine year old and asked \u201cwhat if a bigger fish bit the lure and then a bigger fish ate it, and a bigger fish ate it, and a bigger . . .?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eliana was just happy that we had tossed the \u201clawyer\u201d over the side to try to catch a big fish, and she asked us several times if we were still towing the \u201clawyer\u201d behind the boat?!?!<\/p>\n<p>While we are documenting cute Eliana phrases, it is worth noting that she has told us:<\/p>\n<p>1. She does not like taking bus tours of volcanic islands because she is concerned that the volcano could \u201cinterrupt\u201d her.<\/p>\n<p>2. She is asking if we can find a \u201cdock\u201d halfway across the ocean so that she can rest and take a break from the rocking &amp; rolling action onboard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more on <\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/laridae.ca\/2016\/10\/16\/passage-to-cape-verde-day-4\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.laridae.ca<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"morelinks\">\n<ul>\n<li><em>About <a href=\"http:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/sail-the-odyssey\/barbados-50\/meet-participants\/#Laridae\">Laridae<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Kirikou (Fleet 1)<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-43259\" src=\"http:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Kirikou-tenerife-600x376.jpg\" alt=\"Kirikou-tenerife\" width=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Kirikou-tenerife-600x376.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Kirikou-tenerife-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Kirikou-tenerife-768x481.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Kirikou-tenerife-400x250.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Kirikou-tenerife.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"French\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cornellsailing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Flag-French.gif\" alt=\"French\" width=\"20\" \/> <em>Ici tout roule sauf le vent qui pointe absent depuis hier.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>On fait donc du moteur sous un ciel bach\u00e9.
