Hi All...
 
We had good winds last night, but unluckily in a particular hard gust a hole was torn in the gennaker, this has now been repaired and its ready to go again.
Today started with rain and its been cloudy all day, although still warm,
The highlite of the day was our close encounter with a whale, which came within 20 metres of the boat, it was huge and seeing it here in the middle of the ocean was really special!
As you can see from the photo, we have harsh rules on the boat, and Bosse had his head shaved for burning the toast!
 
We've now got good winds and the prognosis looks promising, so hopefully we'll keep our timetable and reach St Lucia on Friday.
I've just checked the positions and we're still around 6th in our class
 
Love to All
Jeff Thomas Mats Bosse
