Someone turned up the thermostat! Feel like we're in Africa or somewhere!! We are now all in shorts and even the rain is warm.

So, 200Nm west of Morocco and the wind has left us again. Put every piece of sail up as it dropped in a vain attempt to entice it to stay and play with us, but alas, it wasn't interested and just left us sitting her with sails looking like empty pillow cases. So we have engaged our secret weapon which is our smallest sail and it seems to be working a treat. It's made of metal and works best in the underwater wind which makes it spin really fast!!!

Anyway, all is well. All are knackered but with only 318 Nm to go the end is in sight. It still looks like we'll have an ETA of wed 0300 hrs ish, which is 0400 CET and I think the bars might be closed. I'll have to get out my emergency box of wine for a celebratory toast before bed I think.

What else can I tell you? Nothing exciting really. We are fixing lots and keeping busy, retensioning halyards etc. Gonna put Robert up the mast later just to keep us entertained. Still not caught a single fish....ever, so, Chinese for dinner, Teriaki Chicken, Satay Chicken and mushroom chow mein. Thats sort of the highlight of our day today.

Til tomorrow (which could be the last blog)
