Greetings seashells,
just a quick entry tonight to let you know that all is well onboard, we are still sailing under a double reefed mainsail and yankee headsail charging along at 6 knots, so all good. wind is from SE, some westerlies would go down a treat. hint hint.

I managed to get hooked up with a great weather forecast on a maritime net down here on the HF radio, hugely beneficial. You can never have too many weather forecasts. (it used to be high heeled shoes or black dresses, now it's weather forecasts, go figure...)

A big flying fish has just landed on the deck, Toby took pity on it and chucked it back. it managed to leave a lovely green slime of fish muck on his shorts as a parting gesture. Mental note to self; must remind him to wash that out before it gets so bad that we smell him before we see him...

Pandora and I were on cook's duty today so had a nice lunch of thai fish cakes. wonder what tomorrow will bring. We are attending a virtual birthday party tomorrow at noon, complete with silly hats and songs. We all have to call in at noon and give a rendition of happy birthday. should be interesting. Luckily, my birthday isn't til June...

take care sailors,
AMOK OUT :)
