we had a day of light to moderate South Westerlies with speeds from 4 to 7 knots, ended up with 140 miles for the 24 hours which is a bit poor but has to be acceptable, we don’t have enough fuel to motor the 1100 odd miles so we are taking the wind as it comes and enjoying it. We had a great day, ran the generator for 4 hours and ran the dehumidifier in both ‘guest’ cabins, really great piece of kit, it has dried both cabins out really well, they were not damp, just kind of clammy! The sun is not as hot as in the Tropics and the inside of the boat is getting a little moist, we shall run the dehumidifier in the main saloon and my cabin tomorrow. Caught a nice Dorado or mahi-mahi or whatever you want to call it!  Smaller than the last monster but still a good 5 pounds or so, certainly enough for lunch tomorrow for the 3 meat eaters. It is 2100 and the moon is full and glowing like it is made of gold, a ship has just passed about 4 miles to starboard and the wind is blowing at only about 10 knots. P3 is ghosting along at 5 knots and the evening is absolutely beautiful, we are sailing under poled out genoa and main again and the only thing that mars this perfect evening is the noise of the sails slatting back and forth as the wind has not the strength to hold them tight against their restraints. If only I was an artist, the sight of that ship with its nav lights on, sailing under that fabulous moon was truly a sight to behold. We have had a lazy day of sun bathing and reading, Phil has had some fun on the radio talking to the half dozen odd boats who are all within a couple of hundred miles of us, these radio nets are a good idea, they seem to spring from nowhere, I have experienced them in the Med as well with the Arc on the way over to The Carribean and on my trip 10 years ago to the Azores, it stops one feeling too lonely and vulnerable, which, of course, we are. Anyway Phil loves to chat with the other boats and gleans any weather or other information. Today we had a report from an American yacht that a seamount had been reported, apparently  a yacht was travelling with their echosounder on and found bottom at 18 feet! They looked over the side to see a wrecked sailboat on the bottom.  Seems hard to believe to me but apparently the folk who reported it are reliable and it has been reported in the American yachting press. We passed within a few miles of the location but saw nothing, who knows?
