Sitting here in Villamoura without a care in the world! Have had a quiet day although the oldest crew member to be on board to date [Keith] managed the quickest mainsail drop to date 2.6 seconds! caught us all unawares including himself but didn't do any long term damage. Beat that Arc boys!
We had a peaceful night doing 3 hour watches in pairs. Sally and I did much chatting on the first shift 9pm-midnight whilst watching the shooting stars, satellites and  passing cargo shifts in the distance. Our second shift 3-6am was a much more silent affair with us each taking 30 minutes at a time for a snooze. Little activity on the radar or the horizon so a very quiet night all around. Both sally and I were very relieved to have had such an uneventful night but found it slightly alarming to find an abandoned very large rib  soon after dawn thank goodness we did not have to deal with that in the night.
Motored all day, boo hooh, but enjoyed the company of dolphins and porpoises for some of the journey.
Juniper all tidied up and put to bed now ready for the next team of 2-3 boys and skipper john to sail her safely to Gran Canaria. Hope you have as good a time as my dad and I have done.
