Other points of interest:
It has been very light winds today and hot ( 29 degrees )
We have had our large red, light weather reacher up nearly all day - the self steering has coped fine so it has been a lazy day
Denise is busy experimenting with sprouting beans to give us something fresh and tasty . Mung beans worked well and now we are onto lentils which are good too
We were approached by what turned out to be a Chinese fishing boat - they were just curious and wondered if all was well
They spoke some fairly good English but it was a relief when they turned away and we were back on a peaceful ocean.
There seemed to be a fault with the mast head light last night so have been busy checking fuses etc which seem ok so may mean a climb up the mast when we reach Samoa. The side and stern light are Ok so it is not a major problem.
