Éowyn is underway to St Helena in position 22:25.351S 007631.109E
 
The wind has dropped dramatically so we had to take down the Twistle rig. Thor VI has a really good Parasailor and has pulled away from us, but Tzigane, a 53 foot Jeanneau is still in VHF range.
 
As we are going slowly we expect to get to St Helena on the 20th January.
 
We had a good supply of fresh meat but that has now gone so the tins are out yesterday Haggis, today sliced beef. I baked a cinnamon loaf today, very popular.
 
The late leavers are now underway and it is great to speak to Emilio on Kalliope who has his long range radio working at last!
