We’ve just had breakfast on day 4 and we are making remarkable progress as Nimble Ape forges ever south and west.  We have run 625 miles so far and we now think, as the trade winds are established, we should make a bit more westing along the rhumb line to BVI.  We have enjoyed the company of dolphins every day, and a couple of suicidal squid have landed on the foredeck.  Ian would like to use them as bait as, thus far, his attempt at catching lunch is spectacularly unsuccessful.  However, we are hopeful of Tuna (preferably not out of a tin)....sometime.

 

The VT beef jerky was excellent.
