Position: 22’39.3N 26’09.1W
SOG: 8.0 knots
COG: 272 approx
Weather: Sunny morning, scattered rain clouds, unsettled!!
Wind ENE 20 knots
 
Day 5 at sea.
 
We’ve all settled into our routines and the days are slipping by quickly ...
 
There was lovely warm wind last night and  at last we’re in the sun. Everyone is drooping themselves on various parts of the deck and looking forward to more of the same
 
Sam produced a mean Green Curry last night and there’s  bangers and mash tonight.  Great boys food.
 
Oscar is trying to find out where we are using a sextant. Just in case readers are worried at this news – we do have a standby GPS if required !
 
Progress has been good – circa 900 miles to date and  Jacko has developed a sweepstake with a prize for who makes the closest estimate to arrival over the finish line at Rodney Bay. We’re using the time at the finish line because Jacko says he can take an awful long time to the pontoon if required ! The consensus is 11th December ????? ish!
 
Sam says thank you to Galata for her birthday wishes and he says he hopes it rains soon ... !
 
Bye for now .
