It's flat calm, blue skies and
we're motoring with 8-9 knots of wind directly behind us. It's a
comfortable ride, we've dropped from 2 people per watch to one and so we spend
the days eating, sleeping, reading and fishing and our watches yawning and
keeping an eye out for the occasional tanker or fishing vessel. James
rustled up pancakes for breakfast and Ryan's weilding a fishing rod,
determined to bag a tuna even though we've got about twenty tins on
board. It's pretty uneventful - just how we like it.
