Hi Pat. Storming Sail overnight - 8/9 Kts in  a F7. Thanks for text; not a lot Tony can do at this distance but will text Mathew who can tel. Mu. Tony sends thanks for your efforts.I am unable to reply direct to your texts because your full e mail address doesn`t come through (no .com). I`m not sure that you can  do much about it except try to type it in before sending.My potato soup at lunchtime was a modest success although it missed the cress! We`re looking at Saturday the 17th.for a direct  Manchester flight. If we get in much earlier we`ll look at flights via  Lisbon. I`d  rather fly direct to MC (Cheaper!). Bye. Mike. 
 
Hi Pam and all  Did v well overnight 9kts speed in comfortable seas - clearly what the boat was meant to do.  All well here.  NO Fish!  Watch system going well.  Muggy on board.  Trip/Ground/speed/ apparent wind calc giving us all a puzzle to work on.  Thanks for the txt everyone.  Dick
