Sorry for delay in blogging but typing and seasickness are not good companions !
 
We are happy with our progress in fairly testing circumstances - our wind instruments stopped working yesterday and we have a problem charging our batteries - I phoned a friend (Phil from Brixham cheers mate) and he told me how to get around the problem. We are now charging the Batteries every 3 hrs rather than 6 to keep the auto pilot etc going - I just hope we have enough diesel for the extra usage...... We'll do the calculation later today or tomorrow when the weather improves and we are able top up our tank with diesel rather than with water from the waves which constantly sweep the decks.
 
Spirits on board are high and we have caught up on our sleep.
 
Cheers for now,
