Title: 31 17n 40 38w

Hi Everybody
 
Position 31 17n  40 38w  COG 43  SOG 8.0kts Wind NW 20/23kts. Had good day sailing yesterday making good speed and direction. Night also good with weather and sea calming a little. 800nm to go and everybody is beginning to plan for land. Arrival hopefully Sun/ Mon.
 
Hi Pam and all  Am I up to date with all your txts.  Excellent news from David and thanks to Ian for being there too.  Hope the flat is sound structurally.  Good night as Paula says, with a helpfull wind for a change, I found it cold though.  I was beginning to think the wind direction was never going to do that.  Still clumsy with tha sat phone so please excuse me.  Seem to fill the days with little things to do and havent yet finished a single book!!  I've even done some washing.  On watch now 10am must go Dick
 
Me again. Not much to report other than missing you a lot. Weather etc as above - we had a cracking run yesterday. Think the Skipper is a little optimistic re ETA. I`d obviously got the wrong end of the txt. I assumed you`d bit the bullet and driven  down; instead you appear to have had the invasion.Hope Ans Paola is better. Any news re Mower? Totally devoid of news out here. Is there an election going on? How`s the Stock Market? Is my new grass in the  veg plot growing? Regards as ever to Lucy & Robert.  Mike x.
 
Nothing much to report other than what is written above. We seem to get good days and wet and stormier nights, I now know where the inspiration for "Those in peril on the sea" comes from. It is fascinating that one can be wet and cold but without the misery and still having a good time. Catching up with my reading and am now on my fourth book.Other than that it is a ceaseless round of deck quoits and cocktails.Hope all is well with you all. Tony.
