Dear blog
 
Hoorah we have gone 24 hrs without breaking anything!!
 
Otherwise nothing much to report today. We are cracking downwind at 7.0 -8.5 knots - been on the same gybe for 2 days but because the wind has veered to the east we gybed about 2 hours ago. Had a great run of about 175 miles in the last 24 hours! Poistion at 1100hrs 20.30N 23.10W.
 
It now doesn't get light till 0830hrs so we are changing our night watches to start at 2100hrs tonight. That means we can watch a couple of episodes of Yes Minister before the night time routine starts. Will be turning off the freezer so that will save 60 Ah per day enough to watch a few DVDs from now on! Jonnie, I got the Wedding Crashers DVD!
