868 miles to go. Had a good blow last night and
through the morning giving us our best days run of 150 miles. Wind tailed off to
15 knots for tonight and for the next few days - so its back to getting as much
canvas aloft as possible! Hot and humid. Caught a big dorado today, my favourite
fish, which we had for supper - delicous. Also came within a mile of a
super tanker bound for Korea, Italian owned but with Bulgarian, Armenian, and
Philippino crew! Had a good chat with them on the radio telephone. Still in
contact with our doctor friend who is about a day ahead of us still. Emily tried
to call today three times and keep getting your answerphone, send me a satellite
message with a good exact time to call you Sunday eve or Mon eve and
I will do my best to call. Love Kit

Hi Alison here hello everyone who is following my
progress. Phoned home today spoke to M&D in Lincs that was very
exciting and slightly strange being in the middle of the Atlantic and chatting
to dearest parents to let them know we are HALF WAY and safe and sound, due
Barbados next weekend though possibly not in time for the monthly jump up at the
Sailing Club! Boo are you reading this? Asked Mummy to call you to wish you
happy hols with Catherine in Oz in case you aren't. Making good progress
here everyone getting on well we are all settled into our routines. South
America is a couple of hundred miles off to the left now. Val did you get sea of
poppies off Barry yet? I am reading another Amitav Ghosh book at the
mo. Well chaps must grab a zed or two before my first watch of the
night. More and more moon each night which is great. Tiny showers
which is not,but a departure from the norm non the less. Until tomorrow!
