We have been sailing now with the asymetric spinnaker night and day in light Easterly winds. we have just gybed onto a port tack and are heading back to the rhumb line. We have gained a few miles on all the yachts we were grouped with and expect to be in VHF range by tomorrow morning.

More fun and games with the fresh water system. A second carbon filter bought in the Caribbean has proved to be faulty and I have used my very last one, Hallberg Rassy supplied which seems to be absolutely fine.

Fresh fruit and veg has now virtually run out so no more mash or hash browns for us. We have enough eggs left for just one cake!

We still hope to be in on Friday morning aout 24 hours ahead of our original schedule.
