Still mid-winter in the Atlantic: grey sea, grey sky, cold, big waves. Raymarine instrumentation gives sea temp of -9'C. Also won't pan in or out anymore - screen flickers and flashes and changes or loses GPS position occasionally. Boat leaks. Since duogen broke again we have to run engine to charge batteries, but morse control (new, expensive, Grenada) is suddenly stuck in reverse. Waves hitting sides with crash and coming over, but only when we go into cockpit to fight engine control. So charging batteries shakes boat to pieces and we go slower, prolonging the fun.

Happy days :(

Jolly good breakfast - bacon & egg with choc crunchies for pudding.

ps Bernie says we're OK really. xx
