Day 7 -High and dry

Well we are truly in the North Pacific High now.

For our noon to noon run we managed 117 miles which is pretty good considering we motored for 21/24 hours at 1500 RPM to save fuel.

We had a couple hours of sailing and had the main out again which was nice to turn the engine off.

It looks as if most of our fruit has come to an end. We still have some apples and oranges, but the softer mangos and bananas will see the wild blue yonder later on.

We had a nice treat before dinner as a half dozen Dahl porpoises came by and swam in the bow wake as we motored on.

When I came on shift this morning at 0600 the water was so calm you could have dropped the dinghy in the water and gone water skiing! There was not a ripple to be seen.
