Well here we are at 20:33.65N 60:15.02W and its a beautiful day as we head up out of the tropics (probably cross the Tropic of Cancer sometime tomorrow). To some extent we're looking forward to getting cooler weather as the inside of the boat is a bit of a hot-house right now (hatches all closed). Condition have been pretty good on the whole. Last night I was we went under the blackest squall line I've seen but as we could see stars shining through it we pressed on with all sail. In the end it was a damp squib - just a bit of rain and a couple of knots more breeze. The crew are fine but still feeling a little bit wobbly (first few days syndrome). Robert was in his bunk for most of yesterday but he's taking plenty of liquid and had dinner last night (no beer). Will up date this as and when
