Hope all is well, we have had a Crab stowaway on board since we left, he has
been living in the scuppers, but he has taken liberty's and took to
climbing down below at night, making himself too comfy, so he was put over
to swim ashore today.
We had a big old storm this morning and plenty of water over board, at this
point the Auto pilot decided it has had enough and made a racket and
stopped.
Luckily we have a spare so after lunch Alan/Dad changed it while Stu
steered, while emptying the the lazarette to fix it, it was discovered the
the 5 litre oil
can had slit and there was oil every where, so we had to have big clean up,
luckily we have plenty of kitchen paper.
Also had to put a new slide on the Main as one broke in the middle.
All fix and set back for a cup of coffee and a big wave came from the other
side, there was a big thud and something landed on my leg, looked down
and it was a Squib and it squirted ink all over the place, when we looked
around there was 4 of them, so they went for a swim also.
So hopefully that's the excitement for to day.
Lat - 13.34S - Long - 92.12E have done 295 miles at 9.44am GMT 29th
September.
Bye for now, Love Margaret & Alan xxx
