Not much to report; we're just getting back into the routine of being back at sea. It's half term holidays so we're not doing much in the way of school, though Mia is excited to have finished her first history course and wants to start the next one straight away. Lochy now wants to do the first one. Getting back into chess and cards and lots and lots of reading. The wind has been a bit flukey the last couple of hours and so Mark and I have done a few sail combinations - not like the lovely trade winds where you set your sails and that's you for a couple of weeks! Also, we're weaving between huge underwater mountains which probably explains the changeable swell too. We've made OK progress though so we're happy. Curr post: 17.16S 154.50W
