Everyone Fine! Weather warm and sunny again. Passed
30 deg West so clocks set back 1 hour for Local Time.
We had a very gently sail last night as the wind
died to only a few knotts. It picked up a little this morning so we have been
having a gentle sail today doing a sedate 5kts or so.
It is getting quite hot during the day, so Don and
Olly have rigged up a sun shade for cockpit crew. We also decided that a bath
night was due. This is done partly with sea water and then with a little fresh
water to rinse off. (Need to conserve our water supply). Everyone smelling
sweet!
Trawled a fishing lure all day, but no nibbles as
yet so stew and beans for dinner. Olly determined to catch dinner some day
soon.
That's all for today.
P.S. We have had a few truncated text messages.
