Éowyn is underway to St Helena in position 18:19.957S 003:00.628W
 
We managed to repair the damaged asymmetric spinnaker yesterday and flew it until the winds died away. We had some breeze overnight and sailed again, but today there has been nothing except the iron topsail (engine!)
 
Even Lady Eve VI and Thor VI have had to motor today. We still expect to get to St Helena at first light on the 20th and this short stopover is much anticipated. Let's hope we manage to make the best of it. WARC have arranged a tour of the Island, Mike hopes to do a couple of dives but we must allow time for provisioning and re-fuelling.
