Other points of interest:
After a night of fairly light winds this morning looked too calm, we feared the large high weather high system had caught up with us . However things improved and we have had winds up to 15 knots at times often much less,
We set the large light weather furling reacher which has been great , we did not even have to hand steer as the sail responded well to the wind vane self steering system. Blue sky , sun and light winds meant it was a good day to tidy up the boat
We stil see albatross this far north, and found a fair sized flying squid lying on deck this morning !
