Title: 16 24N 48 34W

Tip 18  Ken's- sleeping in the forepeak in 30 knots of wind.
        imagine you are at Alton towers  on the black hole ride-remember? well imagine its 60 miles long and your lying down headfirst, you've no idea which way your going up, down, left or right got it? now go to sleep! simples.
 
ken- well as you can see we have wind and are making excellent progress the wind peaked at 34knots F7 last night so we are looking for a record breaking distance today.
sqaully showers of and on all morning, must dash found an old copy of bella I've not read! SMALYX.
 
We had a flying fish on deck last night and a little squid -they are obviously not scared of Russ's fishing so they decided to come and taunt him --am sure the squid had its tongue out when we threw it back in.ha ha !
 
the wind variation is unbelievable we were flying along all yesterday then in  the night within the space of 30 minutes the wind went from 24 to 31 then back to 12 then up to 34 then back to 24--makes sailing trimming interesting.Trying to sleep was a waste of time couldn't stay in bed it was so choppy 7 meter swell and short sharp chop
