Title: 35 07n 32 56w

Hi Everybody,
 
Position 35 07n 32 56w COG 51  SOG 8.0kts Wind N 30/32kts.
Had day and night of motoring in calm seas. Wind came suddenly about 4am and seas have started to build but we are making very good progress with less than 400nm to run. 
 
Hi Pat.  Rough old night with wind still pretty high.Complete contrast to yesterday.Not much else to report. because of yesterdays calms we didn`t make as much progress as usual which makes a Tuesday ETA more likely.Hope my texts are now getting through and that all well with you.Regards as ever to Lucy &  Robert. Mike x.
 
hello all force 8 gale outside and a large building sea good fun at the moment might of had enough by tea time though    had         conflakes for breakfast  (ondeck)  you can see the video on return or maybe on u tube should be funny c all soon russ
 
Hi Pam and all  Hope you can get this from Davids.  The wind has arrived early!!  Not much sleep for the next 24hrs I think.  With Adam trimming the boat has settled from 8.8kt to 6.9 kts but we are now able to walk inside m- corn flakes await following my watch in 5 mins.  We are 375 nm out and did 147 yesterday on a motoring leg - good eh!.  Tomorrows blog will reveal all I'm sure.  Hope the house inspecting goes well for both David and Ian.  Let me know how things go please.  Bye for now Dick
 
Er one word for today really, mental.  Its pretty good fun at the moment spray everywhere even the suns out and theres now cornflakes all over the back deck thanks to russ!  Not fishing today, decided it'd be unfair on the fish to be dragged out of the sea in this weather,  not looking very promising for catching any decent sized fish at all this trip.  Just over two days to run, cant wait to get on land and a full night in a bed that isnt leaning!  Two weeks on a heel makes things tricky.
See you all soon Adam x
