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.
