Been a fast few days, found a little favouring current and then last night the wind came up with squally weather that lasted until this morning. Fast sailing, broad reaching with half the Genoa, staysail and a reefed mainsail but we were heading too far south so at daylight we poled out the staysail and Genoa and are heading downwind rolling like crazy but on course. Big swell from SW with the wind waves from SE and we are all over the place!! Not much sleep but pretty happy when at midday we did a fix and had made good 170nm in the last 24 hours! Best days run this passage and yesterday 162nm and the day before 150 so all is well. Tonight around midnight we should be nearly half way there so happy Days.
Too windy to fish as I would probably roll overboard trying to clean it so I managed to make pumpkin soup from a pumpkin that is well over 3 months old and still looked like the day we bought it!! This one travelled through the canal with us in march, they're tough little buggers
Position 5*20S 109*50W. 1816nm to go
