Happy 80th Birthday John, hope you have a great day, we're thinking of you and wish we were there - probably more than you wish you were here.
So Threeships ploughs on deep into the Indian ocean under blue skies by day and starry skies at night. Trade winds have finally settled down to a steady 15 - 20 knots and we're making good speed over 3 - 4 m seas with a 1.5m wind wave on top - back to living in the belly of the wild animal. Sleep is fitfull at times and life in the galley requires a spritely response but Fi has it sussed. Toby continues to tweek and plot  as he completes his first 1000 mile ocean passage - nearing the half way point. All well on board.
