On Great Circle course for Antigua

We had company overnight initially bracketed by 3 boats but courses diverged overnight and whilst we can still follow radio chatter we have no-one in sight.
 
We had a make and mend session this morning, making running repairs to some chafe damage on the genoa and looking for potential trouble around the boat.
 
Domestic
 
More bucket showers and clothes washing.  We are hot and sweaty but we smell sweet !
 
We are also changing our watch system tonight to reflect local daylight hours - dinner will be at about 6.30 pm and watches will run 8 - 8.
 
 
Natural History.
 
Nothing new today, but we have had the bimini up which limits visibility.
 
 
Todays responses:
 
Em - sounded from the texts like you were having fun over curry.
 
Joe / Harvey - hope football was good
 
Lizzie - It must be cold, I hope they didn't drag you with them.
