Dear All,

The wind has come down quite a bit today, so we had plenty of time on our hands. We therefore decided to dig a bit further into Come’s reluctance to eat fish and started a Group Therapy to help him out. In fact, it looks as if Come, having been in charge of provisioning in Las Palmas, is not ready to accept any form of external addition to what he considers was exactly the right quantities for the trip. He sees our fishing initiative as a clear betrayal and still cannot cope with it. He has agreed to talk to us further about it  and we have increased the dose of anti sea sickness patches he uses as a precautionary measure in the meantime to keep him sedated.

We then tried to openly talk to Matthieu about our racing performance so far, but he then started to get really excited as he explained that we had a very good chance to break the Atlantic Crossing record should we continue at the same pace. We felt a bit weak, so we told him that we were also over the moon about this prospect…

Philippe has found a new passion for surfing and he keeps doing it behind the boat using a tow line. He now wears a bandana on his head days and nights with a tee shirt whose motto says “ No brains, no headache!” He says he is cool, yeah!

As far as I am concerned, I really want to thank Stephane for his medical kit and tell him that I particularly love the blue tablets at the bottom left and that I would be really really grateful if he can send more in St Lucia, much more actually, please, really, just more, quick.

Happy sweet dreams from Noeluna
