Last night we had steaks with sauté potatoes and carrots cooked by Will, it was fantastic. Despite no alcohol a good time as had by all. Will also made bread, but a little too much water meant that its now being enjoyed by the dorado.

 

This morning we hit 11.4 knots briefly when surfing down the swell, but we are well reefed down and in control. Noon to noon we did 164 nm, a best for Salila.

 

Interesting fact of the day, we are still slightly closer to Senegal in Africa and French Guyana in S America than St Lucia, but the attempted mutiny to take us to Brazil was firmly quelled.
