Well, for once a quiet day, nothing lost, nothing broke, nothing to worry about. So a pleasant day. We are still staying to the Northern route but a steady NNW wind last night forced us South. Good winds though so we achieved good progress, 200 NM or so in the day.
Another fish bit in the afternoon, but alas, we can only talk about the one that got away. Dinner a la Rob was pasta Chorizo blend with a few red chilli peppers just to remind you how little you can taste once you have swallowed a couple. Generator on in the evening and the chance to watch a couple of episodes of "whatever happened tio the likely lads", nothing better to realise the generation gap. Nigel and David "Brilliant", Rob "I sort of get it", Jon and Chris "What??.
The good news is that King Harry (The Hydrovane) is working very well so the loss of the Jefra auto pilot is easier to take, and saves a lot of time at the helm. The crew are pleased. Today the wind continues from the NNW at 4 - 5, we are waiting for it to turn behind us so that we can finally get the Parasailor out??
