A bit of motoring

We have some wind again so the spinnaker is up again and we are doing 5 knots. We had to motor throught he night to keep moving as the wind died down too much for sailing last night. The motoring has helped to charge up the batteries to 100%, which is a good for them after so many days at sea.

Our one gas bottle finished this morning while we were baking our bread and our cakes so we are not too sure how they will come out. We will have to see and lunch will have to wait a while.

The kids are making "cabins" in their bedrooms with bed sheets and the optimist bouyancy bags. Of course Felix has worked out a system of "money" to enter the "cabins" and Victor has got the music going.

Our current position is 9deg 54.03'S and 133deg 57.98'W COG 252deg and only 286NM to go!!
