Still making record
breaking progress averaging around 10 kn with last 24 hr run being 223 miles.
Wind from the SSW at plus/minus 20kn - so on the beam until a few miles back
where we reached our southern most point and now start the slow climb up our GC
leg back to the N and warmth.
Sailing, sights and
food have been perfect, so all crew in high spirits and enjoying it all
thoroughly. About a dozen albatross following us yesterday, finished the last of
the tuna last night so will fish again today although at our sailing speeds
and inability to slow down, it'll be a hard drag and land to get these size fish
onboard.

doing it hard on watch
...and
even harder!
Some more bilge work
identifying tank leaks/spillages into the bilge through the height of the
previous night's storm, and with our rapid progress E another Ship's Time
change, which I put into the microwave clock not expecting that to confuse Robbo
who appeared on deck for his watch during the middle of a defrost
cycle.
