The fact that there is little to report today is probably a good sign that
things are going OK. We’ve made good progress with the wind mainly from the
north and have been reaching a bit south of west and logged over 170 miles in
the last 24 hours. We’ve changed our ships time so our clocks are one hour
behind the UK. We’ve had a sunny morning and although not really very warm
yet it’s still very pleasant. A bit of cleaning and sorting this morning
as well as some garbage management. We are a bit disappointed with how
some of the fruit is lasting or perhaps I should say not lasting. We went
to great effort to wash it and pack in nets but some including our prized
pineapple have let us down. Lunch was consumed with relish......by 3 of
the crew anyway as it was fish caught yesterday. Still planning a course
between the light winds to the south and the more lively and adverse winds to
the north. Quite a large swell of up to 21 feet predicted in some
adjoining areas.
