They have obviously been having some very in depth and meaningful philosophical discussions onboard. After hours spent pondering the meaning of life they have decided that the answer to any question is ..................CHOCOLATE. Now only 3 men could have taken hours to reach that conclusion - all us women knew that from birth!
Anyway latest position as at midday today 22 30N 023 00 W. Averaging 5 knots and making steady progress. Pete would like a couple of days pushing along at 7 knots to really break the back of it so hopefully they will get some stronger winds at some stage. Early days yet. They crossed the tropic of cancer at 2.30pm yesterday so they are now officially in the tropics. The first fish of the trip was caught by Adam yesterday and that is their dinner tonight. They are settling into the monotony and routine of the days, getting organised into getting things done. Adam would appear to be doing no different to what he does at home during his time off, playing on his psp and watching dvds! At least he is not suffering from any seasickness which was a concern and Pete said he was pulling his weight, doing his watches well, and generally coping. Glad someone is!
Next update on Wednesday
