Current position is 25 49' 9S and 155 59' 0E and that, ladies and gentlemen, gives us a distance of 41nm since eight o'clock this morning - it's now three thirty in the morning!
So, as you can gather, things haven't improved in the slightest. The winds have picked up to around 6 knots but now the current against us is 2 knots so, even though we're moving through the water at about 4 knots, over the ground is only 2; can't win.
I never planned meals for this long a journey either. I has pre-prepared six dinners to cover what we thought it would take and those have come and gone. As the authorities take all fresh produce away once we get there, we didn't stock up on more than what we thought was necessary so now we're definitely scraping the bottom of the barrel. Then, in all of this, I haven't been letting Paul fish 'cause once we get there, we want to be able to empty the freezer for when we leave the boat for a week or two. However, we won't starve, there's still pasta and rice, pasta and rice, pasta and rice.

Oh my Gosh!! I shall think of you eating both pasta and rice now. I am hoping you arrive soon and can't Paul just catch a little one?? :)
P.S. Any sign of Pete? Still trying to find out plotting your position.
