We're still going west although yesterday we headed
south most of the day to enable us to gybe and theoretically head W straight to
Barbados !!
Lying on my bunk in the afternoon gazing out of the
forehatch when I watch the large spinnaker blow and of course all hands on deck
to get it down and get the next largest up.
Quickly done and we were back up to speed, a
sedately 9-10 knots although surfing down the swells we have reached 13.2, and
it's now a competition to see who can get the highest speed whilst on the
helm.
Fish caught - NIL
Dolphins seen - NIL
Whales - NIL
Flying fish quite a few !
Seabirds - a couple
Ships - 1
Man it is MT out here !
