No much happening – no ships, very few birds and no sea life other than flying fish.

Had a hectic few hours this morning. The wind seemed to have back enough to set the asymmetric. So we did. But coming up behind us was a large rain cloud. It brought winds up to 20 knots so we dropped the asym and waited for the rain. Two drops later and it was all over, so up with the asym again. Great speed but not for long. The wind soon veered back to its old heading and down came the asym. If nothing else Rob and I got some good excersize.
If we continue as we are doing this should be a 21/22day crossing.
Cheers
Chris
