We're now double reefed and sailing at 6 to 7 knots; the seas are large but
at least we are not being banged around by them any more. Last night we had
plenty of rain as well!

Monica and I have caught up a little on our sleep.

The kids are enjoying the Kids Net on the SSB radio; yesterday they were all
singing songs to the other boats. Tom sang Bobby Shafto, Jonty sang Popeye
the sailor!
