Position: 15:07.38N 29:39.17W
Date: 1st January 2013
Time: Noon

Today finds us 289 miles out from Brava and making good progress. Winds are a little lighter now at around 20 knots, although the seas are still rather bumpy. This morning we had six flying fish on the deck which with two from yesterday we cooked for lunch. They were delicious.
