FARR AT SEA

Last night closed with a beautiful sunset and surprise Pina Coladas prepared by Graham. All enjoyed the sundowner drinks and chicken fajitas on deck. Dolphins were seen on either side of the boat following us.

The evening was much warmer than previous nights and it did not rain. Isis are on the horizon and they were getting bigger all of the time. They are 5 miles ahead and 6 miles to the South of us. 1,392 miles to Barbados and we are averaging 9 knots in the right direction.

Team Minerva even managed a Spinnaker change in the dark. Everyone is still on board, well and plain sailing. All are settling into the daily routines including showering on deck and waiter service.

This morning we enjoyed eggs on toast and are currently working on our knots to win a bottle of champagne.

Paul calculated that our first broken mug would take 4 hours to get to the bottom of the Atlantic, falling at 3 feet per second. Then after 3 hours to implode. We have left him there to let us know if this is correct (just kidding Paul's family).

Can someone please text 'Alan' on 'Juno' to say Halooo and that Brad Pitt has fallen off of his motorbike? We are all missing everyone back home and hope that Tim arrives home safe and well.

We would love to hear from you Tim or someone to let us know of his arrival.

Love to Simon, Mum, Dad and Mark, family and friends.
