Progress can best be described as steady, trade winds are gently caressing us the last miles.
Sun shines, sea is sensible, not much point in rushing our last two days on what has bean an epic leg, so where near the 3 thousand miles.

Bird life is minimal, presumably we are still too far from islands. The odd Petral and nothing else, even the masked booby that has stayed with us for most of trip has departed.
Closed to bird life is the main sheet block that makes a clucking noise over my head .

Sea life is non existent.

Food is tins, with some creative cooking going on.

Water and fuel we have plenty.
