PS's

PS1. Fishing. Fish 1 Ty Dewi 2. We caught another Tunny, a little bigger than the last. We're eating fish tonight. The impending disaster, however, is the fact that we are running out of soy sauce to go with the wasabi.

PS2. Grey Ships. A smudge on the horizon turns out to be a big grey ship pointed right at us. Radar says it is 10 miles away. We call them up and have a polite conversation and agree to alter course a little and clear them by at least two miles. They are a big aircraft carrier - floating airport and nuclear power station in one.

PS3. Gulf stream. Nearly there, water temp up to around 20'C and at sunset we saw a strange sight, the water 'steaming' as vapour rose from the warm sea into the cold, cold air. Never seen that before. There is a line of cloud ahead that we think is the moisture gathering over the even warmer gulf stream. Could bring a few little squalls so we have reefed sails a little for the night.
