Last night the wind filled in a little and we have been sailing at a steady pace giving us a reasonably respectable 24 hour run,
 
We finished tha last of our salads yesterday and today have been debating over the merits of baguettes filled with tuna or bacon and cheese for lunch. Tomorrow I think I will make some more bread and we will have that as a Sunday treat.
 
Much warmer now and we are seeing lots of flying fish. Alexa amost was hit by one as she stood next to the wheel - about 2.5m above the water!
 
No ships, no dolphins, no whales - just blue sea, blue sky and and a little sprinkling of small puffy cumulus.
