Current Position at 4pm GMT New Years Day is 11:58N 37:51W.  Sun currently shining in between the endless march of nasty squalls, wind currently 25 knots, less sometimes, more in squalls, seas are very very confused, we are getting somewhat tired of this and really hope to see an improvement ..... soon - as are the other boats around us!!!
 
Enjoyed our "virtual" New Years Eve party onboard Matador  who are a few days ahead of us, Stuart caught a huge tuna so him and Steph kindly invited all of us out here to a sushi party for New Year, entertainment was provided onboard by local group "The Flying Fish", and a swell time was had by all.
 
Skipper has finally deployed the lee cloth on his bunk after being thrown out of bed 3 times, a sensible move it would seem. 
 
Life is continuing in survival mode, it will be a momentous occassion when the first one of us takes a step through the boat unaided ... may that day come soon.

If you are not living on the edge you are taking up far too much room
