Up for early exercise today - on the foredeck ! Wind 15 to 20 knots so up with th chute, and after an hour or so we had it untangled and running as it should. More parctice required!! Really great Thai curry last night  ( with a beer ) and no after effects.Following the bfirst two days good runs, not so great in the llast 24 hours - only 120 miles or so.Hope to cross the Tropic and clock 500 miles in early hours of Thursday. Crew in good heart and settling into routine. Ran the fishing line out after breakfast but no bites as yet - looking forward to tuna sandwiches. Michelle acquiring a taste for beer shampoos but don't know if we have enough on board to keep her going - anyway the fellas prefer to drink it.
