Satin sea.

2nd July 16.10. Tiny little northerly breeze crept up this morning and drizzle stopped. Now edging east at 2.5kt. Will get there yet, but may take a few more days. Seawater bucket shower in cockpit, brr, not tropical warm water anymore. 4 onions left, plenty tinned tuna and tomatoes though. Been looking through recipe books..... at the salads! Saw a gannet this morning, so land can´t be too far away. Soon!!!

23.00. Wind down to about 2kt from NE. Tried tacking but tacking agle was 220 deg! Now hove to in the tiny breeze heading about 0.5kt almost exactly away from Flores. Back to bed to dream of salads and icecream :(

3rd July 2010. 17.30 28deg 32.5n 35deg 08.8W Pressure 1028mb.
Motored all day, 43 miles closer in flat calm. Lot of dolphins. Must be bang in the centre of high now, not much diesel left so drifting now. 192 miles to go. Oh so close oh so far. Only fresh food left is 3 onions, last butternut squash went in soup for lunch. . And very nice it was to. Tins and rice all the way now though.  But with Bob Marley drifting across the empty flat satin sea not much matters.

Don worry, bout a thing,

Cos every little thing, gonna be alright!!!!!!
