Groupama 3 sailed 28,523 miles with an average speed of 24.6 knots.

That's incredible. *Thanks for posting the link.

Yeah thats moving pretty fast. About the average of the faster
crewboats in the gulf and they burn 180 GPH.

BTW what did you catch that BIG Mahi Mahi with? That looked like one
tasty fish.

You using squid type lures? Seems the lime green with sparkles worked
best for us.

How did you land him? Most cruisers tell me it better to just drag
them until they drown, after I tell them about the one that flopped
off the deck.;0(

Also the pictures you have been taking are great, the mega yacht with
the inverted bow and round palace top sides was one funky looking
boat. That port looked very expensive.
