Just a quickie to say g'day. Amazing how the mood changes once the rain stops and there's been some sleeping. About to cross 5 N and into the trades, I hope. And half way is tantalisingly close - 361 miles - just over half a S2H. When McQ wakes, I think it might be time to open Kimbra's goody bag and find the one for tropical squalls...been there, done that!

The autopilot seems to be back in action after sloshes of WD40. Still a bit recalcitrant. I think it may have had water in it at some time.

Sun just risen, one solitary seabird - indeterminate, but it's been with us for days, it seems.
