Its a hard knot life

The last few days the clouds have cleared and the sun has finally come
out. We have had beautiful sunrises, amazing sunsets and lots of
swimming in the bluest of sea. We have had very little wind therefore we
have been motoring a lot. We have used more diesel than forcast so I have
decided to make an unschedulled stop in Ascension Island. We should arrive
there Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning. The island has been notified of our
arrival and apparently they are excited! However this will be a 'splash and
dash' stop, fill with diesel and water then back out to sea. Leaving Ascension
we will head north and cross the equator with 3 days then up to Mindelo, St
Vincent, Cape Verde where we will stop for a for a rest. Everyone seems
excited about stopping in Acension. It will be interesting to see land again
as the last land we saw was Saldanha Bay which was on the first day we left
Cape Town.

Oh by the way we have put a hammock up and you cant get me out of it! it's
been so warm at night I decided to sleep in it for the past 2 nights and the
early hours of this morning woke up swinging voilently and nearly got
caterpulted out!! Roxy was on watch and was laughing her head off.

Last night at sundown we were all on the bow and just as the sun was going
down a few pilot whales went passed us, stunning!

Water temp is currently at 25 deg and rising and air temp has been the same,
we are all starting to gain a tan!! whoop whoop.

Position 12 21 98S & 005 47 94W

Thats all for now.

Vol de Nuit out.......
