As predicted I've pretty much come to a grinding halt yesterday and today. So that's pretty rubbish. On the plus side I've taken a little time to have a wash and clean some cloths. Oh it feels good to be clean and fresh again! I can't wait to take a proper shower. I also treated myself to a new fresh t-shirt. After wondering how much food I do actually have left I decided it was time to organize it. I have enough for about another 10 days. After that it's going to get real difficult. Lets hope the weather does improve and I can get some good miles in. Being easter today I will be eating some chocolate you'll be pleased to know. I'll have a mars bar with a cup of tea I think.

This morning to celebrate going through the 500 mile to go point I decided to put my Christmas hat on. It didn't last long, as you can imagine it got rather hot quite quickly. I did get this photo to show you all though.

It feels a little strange at the moment as I know in comparison to how far I've already traveled, 491 miles is nothing and I feel pretty close. However another part of me realizes that actually 491 miles is a long way! It's pretty crazy to think I've now spent 91 days at sea. The hot weather also continues to relentlessly beat down on me.

I've left the fishing line and hook out of the boat for quite some time now but haven't managed to catch anything yet. Thinking about it I should have included a harpoon gun in my kit. I could easily catch loads then.

A big thank you to everyone that has donated recently. It's greatly appreciated and I'm sure working for it! www.justgivving.com/jamesketchell

Hope everyone is having a great easter weekend.
