Mad Fish - ARC Birthday 3 of 3 aboard Mad Fish

Today is Oli's birthday and he is now 11. Some new DVD's and story CDs among the presents have been welcome addition. He had his favorate breakfast of pancakes which unfortunately saw the demise of Emma's favorite pampered chief batter bowl. Not comparable with trade wind rolling.

Allowed ourselves showers today as we are doing well for fresh water having just switched over to tank 2.

We took our kite down yesterday when the wind crept up to 28 knots and we found ourselves hoofing along at 12 knots! Currently running downwind under full main and a partly furled poled out headsail in 22 knots of wind doing 7 knots with surfs over 10 knots.

830 miles to go.
