One of very large container ships (LO 1100ft Beam 156ft) passed going north to Mexico Far to big for Panama, but I guess that is why they are busy building new locks to cater for these monsters.

The saloon table eventually gave up the fight against the banging and collapsed. It is now upside down on the saloon floor.

I thought we were supposed to be in the in the trades with constant wind and sunny skies. We are getting overcast skies and wind that comes and goes. Let's hope this will change.

I am finding it strange that here we are in the tropics and at night I have to put on a jersey and long trousers with a foul weather jacket - yes it is cold at night and not that worm during the day, something to do with the current coming up from the south pole.

Cheers
Chris
