Hello again,

 

As I write this message, the sun is shining on yet another cloudless day out in the Atlantic, 55:05.83N 13:50.86W. We had the cruising chute up all day yesterday and over night into today, giving us precious speed when there really was very little wind. As the wind has now come round to the south and strengthened somewhat, we have taken it down and are sailing under full plain sail at the moment. With the conditions moderating a bit, the queasiness is under control.

 

Less wildlife seen in terms of birds and no whales or dolphins seen so far today. Had a spot of fog this morning which lasted a couple of hours, before burning off around breakfast time.

 

We have now sailed off the edge of our UK chart and have been over the edge of the continental shelf for some time. We can conclusively prove that, so far at least, there is no edge to the world. -+

 

All the best
