Day three in the big brother boat (read with a
Geordie accent). Not a lot to report other than lots of big waves, an odd
sighting of another yacht in the ARC fleet and a quick visit from a pod of
10 to 15 dolphins which were leaping full out of the water in a race to get to
us. We're making good progress under twin headsails and have covered
nearly 500 miles since leaving Tenerife.
Food's good, but will need to get the fishing rod
out tomorrow as we are soon to run out of meat. Not ham though, we have 50
slices!
Here's a couple of photos
First - the dinghy covered in oil, we've
already spent 3 hours cleaning at this stage
 Next, the three amigos immediately prior to setting
out
 Finally, day three John and I hanging
off the boat, alive but not very clean!
