Just a breeze

We've had the good fortune of fairly good winds from behind sinve
leaving St.Helena,at times averaging up to 7.5 kts.As per our weather
prediction,the wind has eased down to a breeze and the sea flattening
out in response.Soon we will have to call on one of our iron maidens to
propel us along to keep up the average we are looking for.For now we are
just holding on 6 kts.Exceptionally peaceful out here this morning,a few
clouds in the sky,half a moon to light the way and a very gentle motion
on Synchronicity.

Out here it seems that the dreamworld and our awake world so easily slip
in and out of each other.Even my dreams reflect the calm and peace that
has settled on us.We have caught two sizable bonny's in two consecutive
days and on both occasions managed to get the hook and and set them free
again.The rather bland taste of their flesh is their saving grace and
the pleasure of returning them to the ocean a rare pleasure.It also
affords us to test our skills and tackle for when we hook into a dorado
or other type of game fish,giving us the confidence to deal with the
situation at hand.

Weve also been having a few squals the last two days,not very intense
but refreshing and always welcome to rinse the yacht from any saltwater
residue.The clouds are fairly low so no thunder and lightning and winds
above 15 kts on the run.Water temperature this morning is 24*C,air
temperature the same and the barometer 1017.We have crossed two time
zones and are now on UTC time,two hours behind SA.At 03:00 this morning
our position was 14*47'S/010*12'W.

We wish you a most pleasant Friday,a peaceful weekend and will post
again on the morrow.

Adio
