We have some wind! About 15 knots from the south, which makes a welcome change from the last few days. We've got the spinnaker up and trying to make the most of it. The sun is still out so steering/trimming in just shorts which is a rare feeling!

We noticed something appeared to be caught on the rudder yesterday afternoon but it kept disappearing every time dad reached over the back to try and clear it, so we thought maybe it was round the keel. It was only after putting my goggles on and sticking my head over the back of the boat that we identified it was a couple of stripy blue and black fish! No wonder they didn't want to be cleared!

We saw a few dolphins last night but nowhere near as many as the first night. Dad tells me I've got more sleep so far than Ian got the whole way across (he's still had more than me though).

We're keeping a close eye on the competition and just trying to push as hard as possible. Looks like this wind and angle will be fairly consistent for the next 24 hours ish, so just need to concentrate on trimming and going fast, then look on to the next transition.
