I see no ships!




















Well after gales we have fog. Excellent. Eventually when we get away from the UK coastline I might relax my obsession with the weather. I know it will blow a gale everyday in the Falklands, its what it does down there.





We changed the clocks last night which means the JCR is now running on GMT, an hour behind you back in Blighty.




Being the well organised sailor I am I thought I'd try on my survival suit. They come in two sizes, universal and extra large. It will be no surprise to many that I have a universal, its a very close fit. Took all of a few minutes to get on and about 15 to get off! When I'd finished it had felt like I'd had some mad yoga work out. Had to inch my right hand up the arm so I could stand on the cuff to pull the shoulder off.

















Im off for a snooze, back on at midnight.

At 1200GMT today we are 261° x 191'nm from Bishops Rock (Lat 49°22.7'N Long 011°16.0'W).
