Last night was quiet with a gentle ENE force 3 and we all slept like babies.  It was a stunning night with no cloud and beautiful stars, although there was no moon.  The air seemed so clean and pure, it smelt perfumed.  On nights like these, doing 2 and a half hours of night watch alone is a real treat - wonderful peace and quiet.

 

This morning saw the dawn of another glorious day and the children did their schoolwork.  Alice had a maths lesson with her new maths teacher, Mr Deacon, who she said was quiet strict but alright really.

 

 

Here is a picture of us having lunch in the cockpit - note the freshly baked loaf in the foreground.
