Éowyn is underway from Recife Brazil to Grenada in position 08:07.161 N 054:44.108W
 
Somebody must have forgotten to feed Neptune when we crossed the Equator.
 
Our convoy had a relatively quiet night, the only upset when Basia's autopilot switched itself off. Now it seems to be OK.
 
Jean & Mike managed to jury rig their split main yesterday by strapping together the 2 battens either side of the tear. They took it down last night though as they woud not have been able to see further damage.
 
Later today we will do a rassessment of Basia's fuel to see if the revs and speed can be increased. There is still a small chance we can get into Port Louis in  daylight on the 25th but we will have to find another half knot from somewhere!
