Position 10:59.56N 78:13.0W

It is 1600 hrs, the winds have subsided to 15 knots and the sea is more moderate.

Mark has changed the fuel filters on the generator, which had stopped working again just as we set out, it is now up and running and we are making fresh water again.

He has become such a good engineer, fixing everything mechanical, I am so proud of him.

I have cleaned all the encrusted salt from the cockpit and inside the boat and we have both had the luxury of a shower.

It is so nice to be able to move around and do things again, for the last 3 days it has been a major feat to move a few yards from the cockpit to the chart table !

We are 100 miles from our destination and looking forward to arriving tomorrow morning.
