Another slow day with the added change of some rain this morning which was mostly overcast. Brightened up this afternoon though the wind was so light that we had to motor for a while. The promised 15 kt SE has yet to materialise, though we are now heading in the right direction dead down wind at around 6 knots. Fi won at cards again, Andy took a sight with the old plastic sextant and got within 3 miles of our gps position – well chuffed -and Alison continues to impress us with her diary sketch book. So all good on board though the kindle libraries are being consumed at a rate of knots. 477 miles to go and still no fish!
