Latest Position 21 45 N 027 28W
All going well, still good steady average pace, with no major traumas. They are catching loads of fish - mostly on Adams watch still so he is winning the bet quite easily at the moment. The weather forecast is for steady 3s and 4s for the next 7 days with nothing stronger but no lulls either so they expect more of the same. They have seen some other boats and Petes had a chat on the radio so they don't feel quite so alone. I think the monotony and homesickness has set in a bit at the moment, which is to be expected, but they are generally fine and going well.

Discovered - The True Meaning of Life
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!
