Still fine weather with the windfrom NE hence tacking all last night. We expect to/keep tacking for the rest of the 450 miles to the Island of Fernando de Norhona where we might stop for a few hours. It's getting hotter unsurprisingly as we get closer to the equator.

Much beset by fishing boats last night when over Banco Royal Charlotte. Eventually we tacked away east off the edge of the continental shelf to get clear.

The towed wind generator was deployed this morning, despite it taking half a knot off our speed, as well as a home-made sun shade panel made using the sewing machine bought in Tenerife.
