High de high,
 
Well it back to shake rattle and roll , as we are transiting across between island groups from north to south and with the wind in an easterly direction along with the swell we are reminded of our crossing from the Galapagos and longing already for a nice flat lagoon which should be looming over the horizon in a few days.
The day has been taken up with getting back into routine and minor emergencies like the radar mast head pivoting like an out of control darlik , at first light I was up the pole again ! strapped off with an Allan key and spanner between my teeth oh what joy , added to this I'm cookie today , with Lyn having a reorganisation it been a pain in the ass to find anything ! Nigela Lawson never had this problem !!!!!!
 Sail changes were another days bind as the wind has dropped a little so we put another pole out and flew our little stay sail alongside our main Yankee its given us 1/2 a knt extra ..every little helps they say Asda styli ..
 Then after washing up it was back to chart work soughing out the fickle tides on these lagoon entrances ! oh what joy , evening meal prepped and in the oven by Four , a galley slaves job is never done , roll on tomorrow back to the life of my paperback !
