It is 2230 as I write this and outside it looks like high noon. The sun will probably go down within an hour or so but will be back up again by 0330. It makes our night watches much more pleasant but it is very difficult to explain to the monkeys why they always have to go to bed while the sun is still up. Most unfair.
We are still making good progress and keeping our 7+ knots average. Our angle on the wind is a little higher causing the boat to heel a little. Emma and Macsen take advantage of this and have developed a game that has them sliding from the navigation table into the kitchen. Points are given for the best 360, twirl, backwards twist etc. Good fun.
