Another day of bright sunshine and, thankfully, some tailwinds, albeit light. The genoa has been poled out so we have goosewings again, and we're heading west at a steady 5 knots, which isn't bad considering there is little more than a breeze.
Highlights included a stunning sunrise, a second serving of Neil's fabulous beef stew, and the rather alarming circumstance of finding ourselves being circled, quite literally, by an absolutely enormous dorado. Didn't fall for our lures though!
Another brilliant dinner by Rob, followed by somewhat revelationary conversations up on deck, which I've promised not to write about...
Getting through our gas bottles far too quickly, and cups of tea and coffee have now been rationed, affecting some members of crew more than others. Sweets still in good supply though!
Heading westwards into the night,
Ninky
