At some point tonight we will be halfway there and a little celebration is called for.....we are generally alcohol free on passage so a nip of finest malt will be a special treat.

Have just spoken to a Norwegian yacht running about 4.5NM away on a parallel course, we shared our details and weather info but as they are sailing a little faster we shall probably loose contact with them tomorrow.

The fridge packed up, we think it is a thermostat problem so we are waiting for calmer seas tomorrow to try and fix it.
