Course 237T, speed 5.5kts, wind E18, sea SE 3m. The SE Trades are steadily pushing us along at a 140nm/day average. The motion is jerky, sleep is difficult but the moon is out and the temps 28C at night. Flying fish and seabirds are our only companions. Our ETA at this rate is early Wed morning. Seluka's big bunch of bananas ripe ned today - en masse -anyone like some?
