Position: 32N50 057W02
Finally the sickness has gone and I feel more a crew member than passenger.
But we are still fixing stuff that has either failed or is not working properly because it wasn't installed correctly.This is no fault of Greg's, before we left he was doing everything he could to make our trip as safe as possible. Unfortunately, the technician that came to fix the autopilot couldn't get it working. So we are hand-steering across the Atlantic. Who needs the gym when you get this much exercise!
It seems that we all now have our sea legs, so we're eating properly - pasta, spag boll, sandwiches etc.
Rather than breakfast bars & Gatorade which is what has helped fuel my recovery.
During the night, Anna was hit by a flying fish, which she killed (it WAS in self-defence, your honour) and Dean used it this morning as bait. Not caught anything yet, but something big took a big chunk out of the lure
we had been using. We will hook it right to the tail next time.
We also saw another ship - in all this water, we had to change course to miss it!
Big "Hello"s from the crew to friends and family from Dean & Lucy, Dave/Perry.Mike,Anna & Skipper Rick.
Bye for now
DBM
