Title: 28 49n 44 48w

Hi Everybody
 
Position  28 49n 44 48w  COG 59 wind  s/sw  23/24kts  1365nm done. Had good nights sail reasonable winds and steady speed. Lovely clear starry night. Still no wildlife.
Had to repair another batten car and slider but was easy fix this time.
 
Hi Pam and all  As Paula says it was a good night and we covered 150 ish nm yesterday Adam thinks.  Had some weather reps from Nick and we seem set for a reasonable period of wind for the time being.   Nil else to report Dick
 
making good speed at the moment    last nights sky was amazing 1000 s of stars   still no sign of much wildlife hoping that might change the closer we get to the Azores    looking forward to dry land again theirs more sea out here than u can poke a stick at   unless u have seen it its hard to realise how vast it is     still not much happening on the fishing front should have brought a stick of dynamite croc dundee style c all soon    russ
 
Hey not much to report, covered some good ground yesterday and overnight.  not long till my birthday now I think, I don't really know what day it is mind.  Looking forward to dry land and a full night in bed! Adam
 
Hi Pat. Action packed  day yesterday. Problem with top sail slide. We had to head into wind to fix which meant we were heading back to Antigua for 3 hours! Odd weather pattern ; generally fine in the morning with all hell let loose later in the day. Currently (1400) we`re heading into the 1st of the afternoon squalls.  Now covered 1370 nm with just over 1000 to go. Hope all OK. Regards to Lucy and Robert. PS. we`re running out of clothes pegs, how`re you fixed? Mike.
