Sailing fast all day with the twin headsails, wind
varying from 15 to 30knots occasionally but around 20kn most of the
time.
 We
did touch 10knots at times today, surfing down the waves
Celebration this evening, 1066 on the Distance to
Go indicator has more significance than the Battle of Hastings, it means we are
halfway across the Atlantic!
So around 2200 we celebrated with an appropriate
cocktail, a tot of West Indies Rum mixed with a tot of Cape Verde sugar cane
molasses. Downhill fom now on!
