Everyone Fine! Weather is very hot, but we finally
have some wind.
We sailed under the Cruising Chute for most of
last night. There is a full moon at the moment, so we can see any nasty
weather coming. A squall did come close, so we dowsed the chute and
reverted back to normal sail, but the squall passed us by (Shame really as a bit
of rain would have been nice). However, the winds have been increasing all the
time as forecast, so we are starting to make good time.
Passed the 45 Deg West point yesterday.
Therefore Local Time went back by 1 hour.
Not much else to report. The days just go by in a
series of Watches, but we can see that each day we get a little closer to our
destination.
Bye for now!
