We are still screaming along under full sail at 7-9 knots in excellent
winds. Leon is producing raw, grilled and curried fish dishes as fast as he
can and Colin is trying not to catch anything too big.
We are expecting to arrive at the old Dutch fortress city of Galle sometime
Wednesday morning. We could be there earlier but arriving at night is not
recommended as we hear they have a tendency to assume you are a sneaky Tamil
Tiger attack and start lobbing depth-charges around in the harbour.
We saw a ship earlier, the first one in days. It's starting to get a bit
busy again.
