Larry again,
 
And still no more fish! We (Ron actually) have spent 4 of the last 5 days with a line out of the back of the boat with not even a nibble. He reckons we are not having any luck because we're going to fast! Still, if nothing else, the line shows us how much we are wandering about our set heading.
 
We've been beset by a series of squalls overnight with lots of rain and very variable winds. Those showers appear to have died out now (midday 12th) so life has become more comfortable again.
 
300nm (or about) 60hrs to the finishing line. Before this trip I used to think that 300nm was a long trip at sea, now, it's a breeze!
 
Just a quick one from Ron..... Sri about lack of photographs difficult (expensive) by sat phone and also a few technical problems. Will include some when in St Lucia.
 
Larry and Ron
