Weather has gone from bad to worse!!  This has occured ONLY because we THOUGHT about having a sundowner (drinky poo) the other night - It turned out that no alcohol was actually consumed...  That message is for the rain gods!!  WE DIDNT HAVE ANY GROG!!(Matt last year had a Pims to celebrate half way and the consequence was bad weather for the rest of the trip!)
Buckets of rain and thunder at the moment - we are trying to make our way through it!  Not particularly rough though - up to 30 knots for a short time now 15 to 20.  Air conditioning would be nice at the moment as the saloon is a balmy 27.5 deg C with about 90% humidity!!  Looks like we are through the worst of it now.
However, all on board a well and spirits damp but high!
 
We hear from Robert's wife Kathleen that the ARC fleet are wondering where the wind is...
