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
