As dusk fell we found ourselves pushing through a band of trash - including the odd tree. Really odd just a line of trash for as far as the eye could see - quite sad.
We then spent the entire night in various massive lightning storms. Plus the wind picked up (on the nose of course) triple reefed and close hauled. The new furling boom worked a treat. Tons of shipping to make life a little more entertaining.
No sleep at all (for c) so we have decided to put into isla San Jose for a little r and r. Trouble is that the wind has now almost died...
