The day started with more wildlife as some of us were lucky enought to see a whale go past at 6.300am, which helped to keep the eyes open to the end of the watch (we think it must have been a cuvier's beaked wale as that is the only brownish one on the list we have). Without wanting to rub it in it's been another hot and mainly sunny day this end. The wind is still being nice to us, keeping between 15  and 25 knots from the north east, perfect tradewind sailing.
            The skipper (Matt) thinks us that we have gone far enough south an so we made the course change and are now heading away from the Afican coast and towards the rum punches, with this in mind we celebrated by cracking a beer (first of the trip!!) to go with our burgers and salad. An Americanish meal so the sound track was the Beach Boys, everybody's gone surfing seemed apt as we scooted down the rolers.
           Phoebe still taking all in her stride with the only problem being a heads door that locks itself if it slams, managed to sort it all out before anyone started hopping up and down. That's it for the day, every one getting geared up for the night watches, but the nights are getting warmer. so long from Phoebe B
