Not a lot to report.  We have had little or no wind for the last  48 hours and the cans of diesel are being poured into the tanks.  Calculations would appear to indicate that we are down on performance. ie using slightly more fuel than usual to go at a slightly reduced speed for a given RPM.  There has been much discussion about this so a few minutes ago we brought her to a stop and on the end of a line I took my first swim in the Pacific.  The prop was clean and there was no weed nor plastic bags attached anywhere to the hull.  I suspect that it is the extra weight that the old girl is labouring under.  As it stands I think that we can make Wreck Bay on Isla San Cristobal with a few, too few, litres of fuel left.  Fortuna is a few miles in front of us and Troubadour a few behind.  Both are calculating fuel states and bemoaning the lack of wind when we have our radio chats.  Perhaps most importantly both have failed, as we have, to catch any fish.  David
