Everyone Fine! Weather hot and sunny with fair breezes and scattered showers.
 
Happy Birthday to Georgina who is 21 again. The crew of "Bluejacket did their thing again and joined in the chorus of "Happy Birthday" to her over the VHF.
 
We have had some rather slow sailing again last night but the winds have picked up recently and are forecast to continue for the next few days. We hope that this will cover the last quarter of our voyage (we passed the 3/4 mark at lunchtime today).
 
Olly is trying very hard to catch more fish  for dinner. I think though that we have left the European varieties behind and are yet to reach the New World fish stocks, as he hasn't had a nibble for days. He lives in hope!
 
We did see a whale earlier today though, albeit briefly. Not the very big type, but we all caught a glimpse of a large back with dorsal fin go rolling by and the sound of it blowing as it came to the surface.
 
Thats it for now. Stay tuned for the next exciting instalment.
