Hi all, just a quick update to let you know we are still on the high seas heading ' 'west along'' as they say in Kerry, for Salvador, Brazil.401 NM to go so hopefuly if winds permit we should be there on this Sat.
Our position is 12 49 257S  031 38 675 W. Our speed has increased quite well over past 24 hrs, we are flying the Parasailor, which is great and doing its job. Our fishing is not so good, 1 big one  that got away!!. 1 small mahi mahi which we kissed and sent back to its mama.
We forgot to mention that the Auto Pilot burnt out on the leg to St Helena, and Derry of course, had a spare new one in his cabin, which Cameron installed without much fuss or bother.
All is well on board Avocet,DV. Love to all our followers...Derry, Donnacha,Margaret,Cameron.
