Day three in the big brother boat (read with a Geordie accent).  Not a lot to report other than lots of big waves, an odd sighting of another yacht in the ARC fleet and a  quick visit from a pod of 10 to 15 dolphins which were leaping full out of the water in a race to get to us.  We're making good progress under twin headsails and have covered nearly 500 miles since leaving Tenerife.
 
Food's good, but will need to get the fishing rod out tomorrow as we are soon to run out of meat.  Not ham though, we have 50 slices!
 
Here's a couple of photos
First - the dinghy covered in oil,  we've already spent 3 hours cleaning at this stage
 
 
 
Next, the three amigos immediately prior to setting out
 
 
 
Finally, day three  John and I  hanging off the boat, alive but not very clean!
