Title: 33 46n 35 22w

Hi Everybody,
 
Position 33 46n 35 22w  COG  58  SOG 6.5kn.  Motoring at moment but wind increasing so expect to be sailing again soon. Been motoring since yesterday morning on a calm sea with sunshine. Seen some dolphins but no big whales yet. Ship sightings increasing two yesterday and one overnight. Outside Raymarine radio broke again!!! think it got wet when took wave.
 
Hi Pam and all All fine here. Still no fish!! Amazing how cold the wind is even in the day with the sun out.  At night its near full kit to stay warm.  The winds up and down but not consistent in direction or force so far today.  Making steady progress though.  Day out of the sun for me today as I burned a bit yesterday pm.  How is Sian's cad going? Had txt from David re mortgage etc - seems good so far, I hope Ian gives the place the thumbs up.  Have a good weekend away in Falmouth.  Dick
 
Hi Pat. Only 520 nm to go in a  straight line -Lands End to Inverness at 7mph! Motoring at the moment with not much wind although there are some northerlies forecast.It`s getting quite crowded out here - we saw  two ships yesterday. I called one up on the R/T - a Dutchman going to Antwerp. He was able to give us a forecast for the next day or so.Celebrated Adam`s B`day with Pimms and cake. Fish are proving elusive but there is more wild life about. ETA looks increasingly like Tuesday. Hope all OK. Regards as ever to Lucy & Robert. Mike x.
 
Hey, Yesterday was entertaining, definitely the most random birthday ive had, still was pretty good.  Yesterday was pretty calm, so me and russ decided that it was time to have some fun.  This lead to us pumping up the rib and going to take some photos of Sundowner in action.  It was weird seeing Sundowner disappear off whilst trying to start the engine which wouldn't tick over!  Russ spent 15 mins cursing at man o war jelly fish because the rib was moving up and down too much for him to take pictures apparently.  Cant wait to get in now and get a whole night in bed!
Adam
