We're now about a third of the way across the Atlantic and it's been a very peaceful and calm 24 hours with some sailing and some motoring but basically very little wind. Looks like we'll have some wind for the next few days and then the calms again. Today we did some boat maintenance. Ray replaced some hinges on our cupboards and fridge and Sam and I polished some of the deck. There was a huge rust stain where the bike had been sitting out in the elements for months so we got at it with some acid and then gave it a polish and it looks like new. Milo's a bit depressed because his mates, the dolphins, haven't been around today. Then later this afternoon he got all excited again when the fishing rod ratchet took off. We enthusiastically reeled it with me commenting that it couldn't be a Mahi Mahi cos it hadn't breached yet and then we realised why...it was a soggy piece of cardboard not a fish! Can you imagine....not another boat in sight and in the whole of the Atlantic my fishing line picks up a bit of cardboard...unbelievable. Well, there it is. Our exciting existence as we cross the Atlantic.
