We are making up good time with the help of steady 20+ kts winds and good seas.
Saw another yacht to our stern at first light today but it has falling back again and no contact was made. Still none of the rowers seen but understand we will arrive around a similar time to the middle group.
Sea life keeps arriving into our boat, some on the end of a fishing line (6 dorado and a wahoo) and some literally fly in and land unexpectantly with 4 flying fish on deck this morning. We watch a dorado leaping after flying fish this morning.
Nick is baking bread for lunch which we will have with our fresh fish curry. I've just received and order for choc-ices (?) from on deck for the crew.......they'll have to accept cans of larger and mini cheddars.
Just had a call from above that they spotted a whale so eyes will be peeled for the next hour of so.
We're trundling along with around 1,230 miles to go.
The crew xx
