Everything OK. Working on ways to economize with fuel. Ran the Honda yesterday and today. Small charger took long time, but can help with water making and refrig loads. Second loaf of bread. Really rose, stuck to the damp towel over pan, a mess but survived. Next loaf will be better. French toast tomorrow. Got the message from the water generator people and will tear the water generator apart tomorrow. ARC Rally control got our message about the bad handicap numbers and is investigating. I don't thing better handicap numbers with get us there sooner.

We are definitely in the rolly part of the cruise. As soon as we turned right to head for St. Lucia they started. We had to modify the port salon bunk as it was creaking too much with every roll. We have eaten down to Janet's mac and cheese. Plenty of food. Now that bread is available we can make a meat loaf.
