More flying fish, landing on the deck, including a mid-night attack on the Skipper under a beautiful array of stars.

Light winds now, with a bit of slower speed as a result. Relatively calm, needing to engine along at night. However, engines off in the morning, allowing a brief respite for a swim just over the Mid-atlantic ridge, in the shallows - only 4000m of depth. No Sea-Monsters seen... although they may have been hiding, all the better to creep up on us.

Home-made Barbados ensign has been completed (only 6 hours of work - maybe over labour intensive?) in preparation for landfall.
