Over half way across the Atlantic and between the beautiful bursts of sunshine we are also being treated with squalls, full of high winds and plenty of rain.... The upside to these squalls is the good speeds we are getting out of the boat  & also the sight of complete stunning rainbows, we able to see the full arch of the rainbow. But more impressively we are seeing the rainbows at night under the light of the full moon - 'a moon-bow'.  We celebrated our halfway status with an ice lolly that Clarissa managed to delve out from the bottom of the freezer - Heaven!!
 
With all these squalls - life down below has been very rocky. The making of a cuppa tea or a 'cupa soup' is interesting. One of the cupa soups was left unattended for a moment & managed to fly at full speed across the saloon spraying every-thing in its path & introducing a new smell to the saloon. Umm.. delightful!!
 
Just spotted our first yacht on the horizon for a week!! Seems to be heading in the same direction but we are whizzing past them!
 
1138 miles to go!! Just turned over the chart to see our destination, Yay .. 
 
PS. Just had another soup drama!! Soup is now BANNED..........
