Lat-21.35 - Long- 03.57 have done 1,098 miles - 635 to go to
St Helena. We are still motoring as we don't have enough wind, we had a
couple hours with the cruising chute up which was nice, but it
not strong enough, we were only doing 4.5 knots so not enough
so noisy engine back on.

Hi Everyone,
24th Jan.
Lat- 20.21S - Long-01.46W - done - 1,244 miles at 15.30 GMT The last 24 hours have been slow progress, we don't have enough
wind to sail without the engine.
Also we have had a couple of rain storms, so thank goodness for
our Zip on see through sides, the temperature is warmer in the day
but drops at night.
We had a couple of flying fish on deck yesterday, so put them on
the fishing hook, but still no luck, still can't tempt them on our hook!
Hope all Ok, Lots of Love xxxxxx
Hi Everyone,
Today 25th Jan, Lat- 19.00S - 00.28W have done - 1,402 miles
at 18.00 GMT
Been a funny old day, overcast and not much wind, sun came
out about 4pm and had a good sail and pleasant tea time, but
back with the engine now as wind has died.
Just have the twin head sails up wound in to 1 reef so they don't
flap.
Had shepherds pie for tea & made flapjacks for night watch.
No ships & no fish, so not a lot going on.
Hope All Ok, Lots of Love Margaret & Alan - Mum &Dad xxx
