We have now sailed 1500 miles and only the second half to go! Coral tried her best to make us all dress up like women, but without luck (thank God! //All males)
Still thinking of a good way to celebrate it tomorrow when all are awake. Presents from Corals children to be opened tomorrow, which she is excited about (plus the rest of the crew, we hope^^)
 
Last three days the sun has been blasting us with heat, good for the tan, but bad for the sleep. We are as far south as St Lucia hence the heat, now we just need to go west. The wind was better today so we sailed well, long may it continue!
 
Today we had the most awesome sight. 50 dolphins leaping out of the water chasing a shoal of fish. Really damn cool! Unfortunately we weren't fast enough to capture it on film.
Tonight's food was brought by Emil with a little help from Orshi, fajitas. Topped of with apple pie from Corals mother. Yum!
 
 
Coral’s first complaint: When the engine is on at night it is “impossible/horrible/awful/horrendous/bloody annoying”. The loud vibration and noise together with wind from the stern makes it so she can’t have the windows open because the diesel fumes find its way into their cabin. Sympathies goes out to Coral. Really hope we don't have too many nights without wind!!!!
