Title: 26 41n 54 35w

Hi Everybody,
 
Had full day and night motoring in light winds but are back to sailing again although wind not as steady as we would like. Done 792nm and travelling in right direction.
 
Yo, er as mum said yesterday was more a test of patience rather than sailing skills.  Had the worst watch of them all last night, the 2-6. at least it was warm tonight.  Good news on the fishing front me and russ have both caught a fish and landed it on deck.  They are only small and not worth killing but they count!  The tally now stands at Fish 3 Humans 2, the comeback is on after a poor start! :)

Hi Pat. Thanks for the texts which I managed to decipher with a bit of help from Papillion.Very Pleased with news re office - Tony thinks I should take you to Blackpool for a weekend. As for Andy P, yes, go ahead. I don't think it desperately needs doing but better safe than sorry. Soulless day of motoring yesterday. We`ve now got some fluky light winds which are at least taking us in the right direction.Currently made 792 miles since leaving Antigua, which is not a bad average. Hope you had a happy lunch with C. Hope all OK. Regards to Robert.  Mike
 
Hi Pam and all Going ok. Hope to increase ave speed over next few days as the wind is due to increase. Easy to sleep with motor on - not very sailor like I know.  Cold last night on deck.  Wind varies from cold to quite warm - very odd. Saw a single ship last night - there is life on the earth after all. Fish playing hard to get still.  Ta for txts everyone  Dick
