Day 45
Today started with a bit of a scare for me. It was 8.30am and I was still in the cabin eating my Museli and milk and sipping on a hot cup of tea. I've perfected the art of using a tea bag three times now. When suddenly I heard this fog horn going off. Initially I thought oh my god is a massive ship about to run me over. I don’t think I've ever jumped out the cabin quicker! To my amazement I was greeted by a small sailing boat with three German guys on board waving at me in nothing but underpants. Firstly I was relieved I wasn't about to get run over, but then I realized I was standing there waving back totally naked! I swiftly jumped back into the cabin and put some shorts on and grabbed the camera. You can see by the photo they actually came pretty close to me. Sadly I could not communicate with them as the only bit of English they spoke was hello. After a few hours they had disappeared off the horizon. I would assume they were also heading for the Caribbean too.
The better weather hasn't quite arrived yet but I'm still positive it will. I've noticed time seams to be going quicker now I've been at sea for quite some time.
Out for now

Just can`t get that text thing to work but never mind - hope you get to read these comments. Thrilled to see you are making some real progress now. It should get faster and faster from here on in. That massive burger and cold beer await. The food in Antigua is heavy, lumpy real man food - you`ll love it!
