I am now running the morning SSB net and another boat is running the evening net. In the morning we have 4 other boats call in and in the evening an additional 2 join in. The propagation is very variable and sometimes it's only just possible to get a boat's position, but on a good day it's good to chat and find out how everyone else is getting on. Most of the others skipped Ascension or also went to FdN, and so are much closer the coast, the nearest boat to us being about 350 miles away. All but one are stopping along the coast in French Guyana and the one that isn't is heading for Tobago. So we're going the furthest, really so we can catch up time and have a couple of weeks in one place before moving on again.
Since the invention (?) of wraps with dates that last months, there's no real need to bake bread anymore. However, it is nice to have now and again and a fresh loaf has just come out the oven. Hope it tastes as good as it looks!
