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.
