What else do you use white bread for other than for bread and butter pudding. So the Skipper took charge in the galley and had a go at using some of it up. It seemed to be much appreciated.
 
 
We are still experiencing some lovely sunsets but this morning dawn came with heavy cloud and it was soon raining. But nothing will dampen our spirits at the moment as we have taken the opportunity to take the favourable wind and turn right, despite the butter not exactly melting today. We are now aiming to be on the great circle route from here to St Lucia.
 
We also took the chance on trying our parasailor again.

Although it took us an hour to get the sail up it all went without a hitch and we were soon sailing at 6 to 7 knots and on course. I'm sure we'll get better at it.
