Sea state:at the moment 2 m but there have been some giant seas with breaking crests at times , which Katipo takes on the Starboard quarter fine
Crew health: marvellous.
Fish caught: not yet
Other points of interest: found our first flying fish on deck today , must have been escaping a predator and crash landed onto Katipo, only 3 cm long however.
have the storm jib up which gives a steady speed set on outer forestay. This means no excitement like the record speed under one small staysail
the other day which resulted in the bent pole end !! It was pretty amazing for such a heavily loaded boat with a small rig.
Cooking a large hot meal midday between watches which works well
