An exceptional performance from our boat on this leg... sadly we made the choice to go west and the expected wind never arrived. We are now in 10th place..but its a great watch that im on..we chat and laugh all the time [insert by gary]. Actually they can be quite entertaining - we saw a shark the other day, an soon enough we had jaws music on the stereo! so it's not so bad mosying along at a few knots. 9th place is getting closer and closer and I am perfecting my light winds helming! The weather is v hot, so am having deck showers every day - a bucket of water over your head. The boys seem to like the naked showers, though personally I am sticking to bikini ones. Will be entering the pirate area soon, so we will be on the look out for pirates, which is kind of cool, but also bit scary! Luckily yachts are not usually their main target, as i think that they may carry more than parrots! xx
