�� I am not a happy bunny! I was bitten on my cheekbone a couple of days ago and yesterday my eye was looking rather puffy. Si was getting some very stern looks! This morning I woke looking like I�d just fought three rounds with Tyson! We�re also having some problems regulating the temperature of the fridge and alternate between freezing everything and things not cold enough to be safe. We�re using the freezer as a vegetable and drinks fridge too so this needs to be turned on for just the right amount of time each day. It is crucial we get them sorted before the transatlantic crossing or we will lose lots of our provisions. I turned the fridge up slightly today. There also seems to be a problem with the position reporting for the blog site. We�ve had messages from folks at home asking if we are really still in Falmouth. This obviously needs some investigation.

�� We decided to have a day on board as the weather was pretty grim and there were a few jobs to catch up on. Si needed to get to internet facilities to sort some business transactions and the MacDonalds by the port had wifi. The golden arches were calling him! It was a shame they didn�t also have power sockets as Si�s battery was flat before he�d completed his transactions. We finished our coffee and decided to move onto a marina with wifi tomorrow.
