 Another quiet cloudy night.   Wind remains East  Force 4.  We decide alter course 10 degrees  South so as to have a little more leeway when we get stronger South Easterlies later.  Last night we had a  30 cm flying fish flapping about in the cockpit.

12:00

24 hour run down to 170 miles.  Its been East Force 4 most of the time just behind the beam.  This time we miss the full main sail.   The clouds closed in last night and havn’t left.  We should make Norfolk some time on Monday. Hamish still lives in the cockpit.  Still no Fleet, don’t have many pictures anyway.
