Hi all
Sorry this is only being updated on day 4 but my computer decided to not to
charge the battery and Vicki's computer did not have the software on or the
user id to get on telaurus, so we were out of comms. Luckily I called Neil
and he got us the info we needed and we back online.
Its Wednesday morning so we on our 4th day/3rd night completed. We have had
very light winds and have been under spinnacker day and night. Our first day
we did 130 miles, 2nd day 140, and we hoping today we will get over 150
today. However this morning the wind died and we are running the motors till
it hopefully comes back. This means computers charging, water maker running,
TV on hot showers etc.
yesterday we caught 2 dorado (MahiMahi) and one of then has already been
digested! Althought the kids only had a tiny amount.
We still heading South (mainly) hoping to find the trade winds. yesterdays
weather said that a low is forming and Sunday we can expect strong winds
from the SW, this is not good as thats the way we going!
So just about to download long term forecast to see if we can avoid them.
Will hopefully write again soon
All our love
