Hello,

We have being getting on well over the last few days since coming off the para/sea Anchor on Monday morning, winds helping us along in the right direction. Seem to have slotted back into our old routien of 90 min row 90 min off quite easlily with out sleeping through the alarm too many times! We have had numerous baby flying fish land on deck during the nights to be fould deid in the morning, they are only about 3cm long so obviously havent yet learnt that you don’t fly onto boats! The adult flying fish are about 20-30 cm long and we have been sing about 2 an hour for the last three days. It surprised me to see them fly up wind as i thought that they would just be going the same direction as it. Will try to do a blog of ‘A day in the life of an ocean rower’ over the next few days but too hot to type it now.
