An interesting night and day has seen us now start to
speed up. We kept the down wind sail up all night only taking it down early
afternoon as the wind freshened
We have just seen a very large pod of dolphins seemingly
'hunting' around us as they were agitated and organised - focused on their path
and not interested in playing with us at all. One group leaping out of the water
at speed. We have also seen flying fish aplenty although none have been
unfortunate to land on our decks since the three earlier in the
week
We have been experiencing some technical issues with the
watermaker - now fixed - and now with the charger on the generator so may
experiencing some power issues (we can still charge batteries with the engine) -
so if you are not getting emails from us that may be why - sorry. Oh and we
don't have a microwave anymore but that is another story for when we get
home
Its Friday night (and going nowhere) so we may just
organise ourselves a bit of a party - and may even have a beer - only one mind -
there is still a long way to go..........but we did have our best days run so
far in the last 24 hours (18:00 to 18:00) of 139 miles - much less
than Associate is capable of but still a best run for us so far - we will be
doing better
