Today, however, we had a lovely time enjoying the sunshine, a shower and plenty of sail changing to catch every breath of wind, so this gentle sailing is rather nice.  On our picture post last night we reported a whale close by - as yet today no friends have popped up lo look on.

Meals have reached a pretty good standard - last night’s Azores stew with steak, aubergine, carrots and tomatoes was delicious and is appearing again this evening by popular demand - although we will need to eke out our supplies at this rate of progress lest the wind keeps at bay!

Kew Gardens eat your heart out.  Banana crop doing well
