Everyone fine! Weather is warm and sunny. We now
have good Trade wind conditions and are making good
progress.
We had a visit by a pod of whales earlier this
afternoon. Olly took some good pictures. There has been another storm up to the
north of us. This one was about 800 miles away so not close enough to feel the
winds but we are getting some of the eeffects of the seas. So it is a bit rolly
right now. This is forecast to reduce over the next day. Olly still trying hard
to catch another fish, but so far no luck.
I found that our batteries were not charging as
they should. On investigation I found that one of the 3 domestic batteries was
down. So I have taken it out of circuit and we are running on the other 2 plus
the starter battery. Should be OK for a while.
Bye for now.
