Half way

A quiet day today. Softer winds and surprisingly calm sea ( for the Atlantic ). Swell 2m and waves about 1m. Please see my earlier missive on waves. No sign of Pete or Quokka 8 although we did here them radio each other. They can’t be that far away.
Quokka 8 is in the racing division. To prove how good they are at sailing they spent 2 days racing past us with Spinnaker flying, tracking South and then back North on the other Gybe. Nina just trundled down wind , goose winged, using my new pole ( such a good purchase ). In the end Quokka twigged that they would get to St Lucia more quickly if they set a direct course. We haven’t seen them since.
So all good. Still managing 7+ knots. Bacon and egg butties for lunch followed up with another fried flying fish. The Fish Monger delivered again overnight. Tasted of bacon as i didn’t bother to wash the pan.
Another day in the sunshine has slipped past
