We are all well and enjoying our adventure. Making good speed and direction most of the time.

However we did hit a dead flat calm section yesterday, so enjoyed a swim and got the chance to do some washing and actually managed to dry clothes for the first time.

 

Thank goodness for the solar panel, while we get browner and browner, our batteries get charged up. Still having to be careful as not much power to have lights on at night, and we still leave all the instruments off, but our Walker Log (now affectionally called Luke, as in Skywalker), keeps us abreast of our distance covered so we can make daily bets as to what our mileage will be. The winner getting the chocolate out of the Advent Calendar.

 

Freddie ‘Monkey Boy’s meal the other night was a great success..even if it did take 5 hours to prepare and nearly as long to clean the mess in the galley afterwards!

 

We are now officially on countdown as we sailed under the 1000 miles to go mark last night.
