No major issues to report other than the snack cupboard is looking quite bare now! We have a constant swell in one direction in line with the wind and are making good progress.
The weather is good and the sky is blue with white fluffy clouds about.
Ed is finally enjoying the trip and is getting lots of sun on his face only. The fridge and freezer are holding up well to the constant resupply of beers from the beer store and gets them nice and cold. We will not run out of beer I am glad to report!
We are all reading our books and generally relaxing and lazing around in the day (as it should be!) Julian scraped his knee a few days ago on the deck whilst doing something and has now become addicted to the Betadine ointment Dr Mrs Jan provided and continually applies it to his wound. (The wound, I might add, is so small one can hardly see it!!!)
We have seen a few ships on the trip. They have always appeared on our 'AIS' system long before we see them and we are forewarned to their presence well in advance. We have been passed by 2 luxury superyachts on route to st Maarten making way at around 12 knots. We decided against calling them for take aways...
Rust stains are starting to appear and the crew will have to get working on getting the boat ship-shape again.

Mas comentarios en Espanish! Despues de nuestra primera semana algo brutal, llevamos varios dias de brochure de charter. Viento y mar de popa lo que hace el catamaran el barco mas comodo del oceano. Un movimiento parecido a una cuna de bebe. (No tildes con el teclado guiri). Hoy he hablado con mi amor asi que tengo el moral por los cielos:-) Nos queda una semana mas o menos, ojala fuera mas pero dos de mis companeros tienen que volver a su Inglatera natal. Yo estoy en el balencin permanente entre lo mucho que hecho de menos los mios y lo mucho que disfruto de estar aqui, alimento para mi alma. Asi que tranqui todos y todas, y os amo muchissimo.
