Well it's been another breezy day, around 25 knots most of the time, gusting 35. Our days run to midday was 178nm and we are starting to think about gybing onto starboard and heading west.
All is well on board; in spite on being quite rolly still, Fin has really found his appetite which is great. Those of you who know Sam well will not be surprised to hear he doesn't tend to suffer from loss of appetite!
Today the boys made Christmas lanterns and sewed little bags to stash their treasure in, and we converted 6 bananas into a banana loaf which was only marginally lopsided after swinging around for 50 minutes in the oven.
Fin is very close to losing another tooth but is anxious about how the tooth fairy would find Bonaire!
We're getting into a good routine now and managing enough sleep - we do four 3 hour watches between 9pm and 9am, then no formal arrangement during the day but both try to get some sleep during the day also.
That's all for now xx
