Motoring endless motoring,
Nothing to see, hear, do,
The drone of the incessant machine,
Moving, moaning, unstatisfying.
Intensifying thoughts and
moods.
(Set to 'Piano Phase' by Steve Reich)
Just under 300nm to go and absolutely no wind to speak
of. So, what can we do? Motor on and watch the fuel guages
drop. Kay and Giles are calculating usage down tot he last litre and
mile. Will we get there in time?
   Also a day of maintenance. Fenders, safety netting, fuel
tanks, toilets (thanks Ant)
Had Tuna swimming just astern. Dropped a line in to see
what would happen. In a flash one took the lure and in the same instant it
had broken another hook off, and sushi was off the menu again, and back to
spam!
