Happy Christmas everyone

So this is Christmas at sea, not the sunshine we had hoped for but the wind is fair and the sea being kind so I’m not having trouble cooking and Steve has just made party hats from an old yachting magazine. We had a good night with better wind strength but still zig zagging our way so not making great progress in the right direction but better in miles covered. Some pilot whales swam by earlier but no dolphins so far.

We have had lots of messages on the Sat phone which is great, thanks for the Christmas wishes. however we don't know who some  are  from, if you send it from the iridium web site you need to put who its from and only use 160 characters, its not like a mobile phone if you write more it doesn't send 2 messages so the end is lost!
