Title: 29 56n 42 51w

Hi Everybody
 
Position  29 56 174n 42 51 865w   COG  37  SOG 5.8  Wind w 24kts.  Sailing well now in sunshine. Had a wild night with squalls and lightening all night. Wind behind us so motored until light. Passed the waypoint and the less than 1000 miles to go mark.
 
Yo,  Still not caught any fish yet, absolute joke!  Today is quite nice though, alot of wind and sun, spent the last half hour trying to capture the sea state on a camera.  Slightly depressing when I leave watch with a couple of hours to a waypoint, and then get up the 177 hours left :( gutted
think that's about all for now. laters Adam x

I treated them to kedgeree for lunch -no curry powder so I had to use some flavoured rice + chilli powder! ETA Az 13 - 15 depending on weather. Hope all OK at home.Usual regards to Lucy & Robert.
