This is more like it. uneventful night, just the
usual constant annoying clunks and rattles at sporadic intervals. Crew all seem
to sleep soundly though. Dawn is always good to see, Tim sees it first! then me
at about 8.00am King is still on USA time and there is a conspiracy to keep him
on the 2 - 5 am watch for the next 3 weeks at least. this may involve a
sureptitious changing of all clocks without him knowing. We are cruising along
with the parasail up, a huge good natured spinnaker which pulls us along at a
nice 6 knots We have many eggs to eat and the oranges are not lasting very well,
but Tim is a fully recovered cook so meals come regularly again! Tiger dutifully
puts his fishing line out each day, but I think we are going a bit too
fast to catch any thing edible. We're all ripping through the books.
So far Tiger is lost in the jungle, I'm in post-war France, Tim is in the
Atlantic on a slave boat (how true) and King is catching up with latest ideas on
climate change. Average daily mileage is 120 - 130 M so tomorrow will be 'Half
Way To Cap Verde' Day. xxxxxxx
