Sea-Me bipping

Great weather and beautiful sea today. It is 18h30 (GMT) and it is still 28 deg (and 70% humidity!). The spinnaker is up again, allowing us to average 7 knt, which is great for our daily distance.

At night, we are enjoying the full moon which lights up all around us, making our night watches much more enjoyable.

Our Sea-Me is bipping much more than before, telling us there are radars in the area (the area being pretty large). We passed a big ship last night (322 ft). It was the one we saw anchored at Ascension and which was delivering the US base there.

Victor and Felix worked well at school this morning and had a piano lesson this afternoon. 11 days before Xmas. It is time to think of decoration for Merlin! This should keep the kids busy for few afternoons.

The high of the day was the catch of another fish (..we are not too sure what, thinking that it is a baracuda). So, fish for dinner tonight!

We also saw a few flying fish during the day.

Our position is: 6deg 32S - 21deg 34W
