Things calmed down a bit and we had a cracking night sail with " Dorothy " our hydro vane auto helm doing a good job.
In the night we had several visitors in the shape of flying fish - Tom upset one of them who then hit him in the hand/ face but he took pity and threw him back - after he cleared that the little fishy was beautiful!
The forecast is that we will run out of wind tomorrow so we must crack on and try and put a couple of hundred miles under the keel so that Bermuda comes into range for us to motor if we need to. I had lots of lovely notes from chums and family wishing me a happy 60th birthday - after three days of sleep deprivation I certainly looked it!
