We've had a fairly wet and squally 24 hours, but have now taken our waterproofs off, and the forecast is for lighter winds. At present we are making just over 6 knots towards Barbados, still under poled out Genoa, and if all goes well should pass the three quarter mark later today.

Amazingly, after 1500 miles at sea, we passed within half a mile of 'Tern' at about 2200 last night, although they are out of sight again this morning.

We have changed our clocks again, and are now on UT -3. We have one more change to make to be on Caribbean time.

An earlier blog has got lost in the ether. Hopefully it will come through eventually!
