Dear All,
 
Well its been a bumpy 24 hrs since the last communication, the wind is coming from the south west at 20 to 25 knots and we have been doing a series of tacks down the Ecuadorian coast to get as far south to the equator as possible , the winds are shifting about and the forecasts change daily , we are currently heading at last for the Galapagos but will probable have to put in another tack before we are at level with the Galapagos .
 You wont believe it but we are in light thermals and foul weather gear at the moment , it has cooled down to a pleasant 22 deg .
The crew thought I had been out to the take away last night my grub was so good ! talk about blowing my own trumpet.
 
That's all today folks as trying to hang on to the PC in this mode of sail is trying to say the least !
 
A wet crew and great cook
