Nothing exciting to report really, swell and seas have dropped right off although it's still a little rolly. Winds have eased to 15 knots today and hopefully they will go more east tomorrow and we can make or course for Saint Helena again. We have been sailing extra miles to have a more comfortable ride and keeping our wind angle at 120-130 degrees and not rolling like mad with banging sails, might take us an extra day but that's fine:) sun is also out today, the rest of the days have been very cloudy but I think it will even be warm enough for a shower today! We were officially in the tropics yesterday above 26 degrees south so we had our first Cuba Libre' of the trip, unfortunately it is still only 24 degrees warm outside!
Just under 900nm to Saint Helena, pos 25*17s 6*50e
Good one guys!! Smooth sailing is what you want, I'll put in an order for a little more wind:) All's good here, start a new job tomorrow xxx
