Still at it! The wind picked up yesterday and was a good solid 25kts. The sea state did also - made for a wet day.

A minor holding tank problem... It seems it wanted to fill itself through the pump out cap being slightly loose. That not being sufficient it then decided to exit via the breather pipe on deck. To compound matters it doesn't seem to want to empty - the pump runs but... Oh joy... If I could have found a way to get the bloody thing out and in the oggin without destroying a good chunk of carpentry - it would be gone!

Lots of flying fish on deck this morning - Winston would have liked that.

This morning the wind has dropped significantly so it's much easier going. Got to get cracking I've got a couple dozen eggs to eat...

Oh and the sun has come out...
