We are in the Tropics at last! Lime soda has been issued to all crew to maintain fluid and anti scurvy levels ( supplementing lemon in the G & T's).

As predicted he wind hs gone very light abd we motored all niht. Had some exercise wih the asymetric at 0810 this morning but the wind died again and we dropped it before an approaching rain squall. Have been motoring again at reduced  revs since 1030 to time our arrival at dawn on Wednesday if the predicted Trade winds fill in later today.

Caught another 2 dorado yesterday but released as quite small and we are still hoping  for the tuna.

Everybody still happy on board - or at lest that's what they tell me. This probably has more to do with the excellent Dundee cake provided by Gabbie which we have ben enjoying than anyhing I have done!
