Boxing day was all about pollishing off the remains of the turkey and doing a bit of fishing. Marco caught a baracuda, - nasty looking teeth, we all kept well clear.(The baracuda wasnt too pretty either).

Every day is becoming a bit routine so we have to break that for some light relief. Haven't figured just how yet. Maybe we can sail backwards, play dot to dot on each others freckles or something.

Still another 1650 miles to go. Anyone who says it is a small world is a liar.
