Daily Diary from Neil

Hi Folks,
Now deep into our white sails only part of the trip and making good times - well I think so, anyway.
Fishing, on the other hand, is a little less successful. We have had a few on board but all were volunteers and flew on rather than getting dragged onboard unceremoniously by a hook through the side of its' mouth.

Our next "target" is a waypoint we've created for the one thousand miles to go - we've promised ourselves a second Atlantic showering session when we reach it! There is a chance the wash might come earlier if the weather system ahead stays put until we get under it - the wash is needed and a day sooner would be good.

Helming is testing us and we really appreciate the work 'Winston' did during his rather short life. There will be no cat napping on watch without it being instantly obvious to all on board.

We are all settled with the current situation and upbeat with the prospect of a 19 day finish.


Love to all,

Neil &c.
