Charles, Knew you were competitive but didnt realise you ran sewing sweat shops as well!! Sorry to hear about it and am of course praying the winds stay too strong for you to use it again. That is our only hope of sharing a beer on arrival rather than you having had a meal, a massage and then wander down to the pontoon to greet us...!

Hi Satori, we have lost our fishing skills, thought we saw a minke whale and a marlin jumping. Otherwise we have just finished 9 hours of teams of 3 sewing up the parasailor starboard seam, having rather optimistically thought it might be a good idea to hoist in 18 knots between squalls last night. Due to lack of coordination we managed to wrap the wing around the radar dome. Blowy day today we have been sailing a bit south on a broad reach. Parasailor is ready to go and we hope she will last. Generator now fixed and we can make water again.

Beer supplies seem to be unaffected......
