15th June 2010. 12.30.

Better days run, still only 56 miles but most of that since middle of the
night. Wind veering round to south west so will tack the foresail round to
starboard before long. that should help stop the rolling as well, dead
downwind is always a rolly affair. Wind more on the beam might get a bit
more boat speed also. Beansprouts coming on nicely, need to make more
yoghurt already. Yoghurt yummy! I didn´t do too well provisioning, out of
soy beans to sprout (mung are my favourite) so might have to be lentils.
Seem to have plenty of everything else though. Enough tins of tuna and
tomato paste to open a small corner shop. Fruit nearly gone, apple and
yoghurt with cumin for mid morning snack, couple of apples left and one
orange. But in fairness, the Caribbean isn´t the greatest place on earth to
provision, most fruit and veg seems to be imported.

Been playing around with sextant this morning, is it cheating to use GPS to
get the time?
