Bonjour!

It’s certainly a party on board as we are only 592 miles away! We really are trucking along eating up these miles. To treat ourselves for doing so well we have had a bottle of sprite which was very welcome. We are averaging a 9.5 VMG which is all very exciting. It has been a day of treats as we have also had a Christmas mix of dried fruit and delicious sugar coated peanuts. For breakfast we had a mid Atlantic delicacy of giant cola bottles, dried apricots and chorizo pieces. I can’t say any of us will be having that again. Only at sea.

It was a fast and furious ready money night surfing through the waves in a pitch black night topping out at 15knts of boat speed. At night it all seems a lot faster especially when you can’t actually see anything. The night did bring two sea sick casualties however, but tonight as we are on more of a run than a reach they should be ready and rearing to go.

This morning has seen a full run through of the 12 days of Christmas by Kat, Sandra and Hazel. It went extremely well, just a few minor hiccups on remembering a couple of the days but we got through it.

We have had no sightings of other ships or yachts for a few days which on the first two weeks we saw one practically every day!

We have had a sweep stake on our time over the finish line and they vary from the most optimistic guess from Rich our first mate (2am Thursday morning) to the most pessimistic guess from Derek our skipper of 10pm on Thursday. I think we all know who we are hoping is right. We have still yet to decide what the winner will get but I’m sure whatever it is the losers will be jealous.

Until tomorrow when we will hopefully be another 200miles closer the rum punches!
