We've had 25-30 knots most of the day so no spinnaker today, though our daily run to midday was 187nm so best run so far.
Sam had us in stitches last night; we needed to do a small spinnaker repair and had just dropped it (he had missed this as they were watching a DVD). When he saw me with the sewing machine I explained we needed to do a repair at which point he asked "well how are you going to get up there then?"
It's been quite rolly so mealtimes are interesting - we've taken to sharing cutlery otherwise there is a definite risk of being speared by a fork if sitting opposite the boys!
We seem to be getting better winds than some of the guys on the radio net who have started heading more west already.
Delia's banana and walnut loaf is on the agenda for then morning as banana situation reaching critical now!
