Sunday 24^th May

Well, rather more of the same today, the wind’s moved round behind us, but still fairly light, and we motor endlessly over an infinite sea. There was a modicum of excitement last night as Jeronimo happened to be near the bows, and spotted a long piece of line. He promptly killed the engine, and Pete went for a swim to find a piece of net just about to wrap round the prop. It was easily removed but could have been much more of a nuisance if not for Jero’s sharp eyes. More of he sextant today, and real progress with several sights working out to within a few miles – it’s still pretty head banging stuff though. Highlight of the afternoon was a tow behind the boat, very refreshing and coupled with a good soaping gave a forced wash to those needy little places.

Knot of the day: Turks Head  Nautical Saying: Pluto

Keelhauling still an option
