Few wee problems
Position: 8,17.13S , 10,24.69W

Not going very fast since we have come up with another proplem. The auto pilot mounts were working loose. Add that to the electrics smartbox which is not charging one set of batteries, the rip in the genoa, the lost Solent sail, the bob stay that has worked itself loose leaving the bow sprit bouncing up and down, two of the jammers that are not holding the ropes and it all adds up to a bit of a mess. Plus the fact that when the spinaker is up the pilot can't handle it when the boat comes down the face of a wave. So we have been sailing with a main and a storm jib! Either the boat is badly designed or something is not right here. Life is about solutions. Very hot though under the tropical sun. Surely I can get off now. Someone else want a shot?

You need to chill out a bit and eat more, you're looking a bit thin if you don't mind me saying.
I know you havn't got any, so I've just had a packet of cheese and onion and a pickled egg. Wouldn't have thought about it if you hadn't said anything.
Keep smiling. We are.

Ian and Alan. XX Can you imagine Alan eating a pickled egg? No, he couldn't!
