Apparently we have been doing something wrong and the blog postings have not been working. Hopefully we have now solved the problem but we may appear to have 3 positions for the same day!
 
Charging along this moorning at 9kts plus until the wind slackened and then spent a very busy hour putting up twin poled headsails before stopping for a beer to let teh sweat dry. Had three fish (all Dorado) on the line. The first and thrid got away but No2 is now in teh fridge in filleted bits and will be allowed out for dinner tonight.
 
Now wallowing along at 4.5 knots and at this rate will not achieve the 170nm that we did yesterday. Last time I looked we had 2446 to go.
 
Have somehow managed to lose the plug to the galley sink and the water pump has decided to run continuously which is novel. Apart from that everything is as it should be.
 
Happy birthday Sandy for tomorrow.
