Title: Happy birthday to me

46:13.6N 7:32.7W

The sun's up and it's already very warm on deck this morning. We're lucky to still have about 15 knots of north-easterly breeze which means we're fast approaching Spain with less than 200 miles to go until we turn the corner and head due south.

We celebrated my (belated) Birthday last night - something that always seems to happen in a similar place each year. Kath produced a surprise cake and we learned that keeping candles alight on deck is impossible. I'm glad we're so far offshore, if only so that nobody could hear the singing!
