Still dancing around on the waves. The wind has been stronger so the seas a little more lively. We are coming up for a third of the way and are pleased with our progress. Still a very long way to go. The question always is... will the wind last? A little less and a calmer sea would be nice but at the moment all of the boats out here are having the same conditions. Our one contact group has 12 boats that are scattered between ourselves and 124°W. We left three days after the last of them. There are two other boats that we keep contact with as they left at the same time as us. We are about 100nm apart. Hopefully the boat will give up on these South American dances and settle for a slow waltz so that we can get on with a few boat chores like washing etc. That's it for today.
