We've seen a ship, there is life out here!
Yesterday we saw a flying fish, we'll be collecting them off the deck for
breakfast soon.
A bit of fun & games this morning, resulting in
a broken fitting on the whisker pole, so no more poling-ou the windward
headsail. Funnily enough, free-flying both headsails the autohelm seems to cope
better. Just had a squall come through, which was nice because itg gave us up to
10 kts SOG for nearly an hour, now of course, in the lull it's dropped off again
to around 5!
All well onboard. We've settled into the routine
now. Spoke with Moonshiner last night, all well
there.
