Day 7 and 8

Well as you can see we have gone very far south in
search of wind, we are trying to escape an area of low wind and navigate through
a series of complex weather patterns, we never intended to be so far
south, now 13 deg N.
However, we are going well this morning after
7 sail changes last night as we tried to find a combination that would
allow us to move ! Time will tell if our strategy will pay off as
the boats northe sufffer head winds and then light wids.....
life on board has become organised doing repairs
and maintenance,Tony has earnt a Playjam star for his cooking (Charles has 2
).
Spotted a whale and hundreds of flying fish, one
landed on deck, strange looking thing, a fish with
wings.
Its very hot below deck, unlike the UK we
hear.
So tomorrow wil see us move up the fleet,
thanks for all the emails of support, much appreciated.
Water supply is good so off for a much needed
wash.
