485 miles to go and the winds have returned - yippee!! We are zipping along at 7 knots and hoping for more later as the winds are forecast to build. It's quite rocky and rolly this morning so galley duty was something of a comedy routine. Don't trouble me for the detail but I managed to get half a pint of scrambled mixture down the back of the cooker which ebbed and flowed until it sloshed out all over the galley floor.......
 
Photos attached of yesterday's high octane afternoon watch and one of my little helpers in the galley and another little helper collecting her grog rations for Happy Hour. 
 
We're nearly there and all keen to arrive but the voyage has flown over and every day feels a bit different to the last.
 
Today Skipper is getting to grips with the air con system (I may have mentioned before that it's not working) Steve was grappling with a jammed up shackle at first light. Hugo & I did battle in the galley. Immy is colouring in (again). Laurence is contemplating a spot of fishing. Claire is napping after night watches (in the face of adversity as there is a lot of clatter and clamour down below from the washing up). Another day is unfolding and once again I find myself pondering upon tomato puree - I do need to get out more!
