Well, after assessing our sail plan and looking at everyone else's positions and weather Paul and Paul decided it was best to continue heading the way we're going. We've got good winds and the sea's should start letting up the further south we go....fingers crossed!

We've had a good day anyway. We caught two Mahi Mahi, one was thrown back and the other was filleted and put in the freezer ready for dinner one night as we only ate the other one we caught last night. We played I-spy, sunbathed and read. You'd think that I-spy would be relatively easy as all we are surrounded by is the sea, but it lasted a while and we had some tough ones!

Marie and Jerry gave us a pressie when we left the UK, to be opened when we were missing home. Well, today half way across the Atlantic we decided to open it. Marie, thank you for the Cadbury's dairy milk chocolate and the nurses outfit which was modelled over my bikini!

We then had a visitor late afternoon.....a parrot! He kept circling as if he was trying to land but he didn't in the end. He just flew very close by.

We seem to be finding flying fish fatalities daily, the poor things!

As there really isn't anything going on during our watches at the moment we had a film night and we watched Ratatouille. Thank you James for putting the films on to the hard-drive, very useful!

Sorry, there isn't much to report at the moment!
