Duplicat - Saturday 15.17N 31.19W

Colin (new crew member) has responded well to loads of sleep, a bit of sun on his body and frequent Beechams and is feeling better. We sailed all night, first part with a little jib an full main but when the wind got too square furled up the jib an just sailed on the full main. Kite back up this morning and we have an easterly 18knts helping us along nicely. During the night Gerry got his ipad night sky programme working and we found Venus, Jupiter and loads of other stars. Still hoping for sighting of comet Ison soon. On my watch I saw three other yachts' lights but no AIS and just faint blips on the radar. Another lovely day's weather today, maintenance going on as deck fitting for spinnaker is being replaced.
