There was very little wind but it was from behind so we deployed the cruising chute which looks great and we realised that, entirely by chance, it was the colours of the Tibetan flag.  Perfect for a boat with a Tibetan name.

Day three and having seen nothing for two days suddenly we spot this little yacht.  The sails seemed to be flapping awkwardly even though there was next to no wind.  We motored over to at least say ‘Hello’ and met Jim sailing singlehanded and aiming for the mainland, so in fact going the opposite way to us.  He said he had a problem with the sail but didn’t seem unduly concerned and said that all was well and he didn’t need any help.  He told us he has three months worth of food and water on board so we guessed he would reach some sort of land before that ran out.  We took his details, logged the position, took a photograph and went on our way.
