Morning All,

We have had a nice fast 24 hours, largely under spinnaker, but last night we got a wrap in our Code 3 (heavyweight spinnaker) and ended up dropping it with some small holes in it which are now being repaired. It feels amazing to be going downwind and we have managed to fix up and clean numerous things onboard. We are well over halfway now and are busy approaching an island, St Paul, that I have always wanted to visit. It is the top of a volcanic crater so has a narrow entrance between mountains and a massive protected circular lake in the middle, surrounded by an amphitheatre of vertical cliffs. A place to come back and visit, but perhaps tomorrow catch a glimpse.

Not much more to report.
