Up date, March 25th

Well, in  few hours we will have been going 4 full days, after finding the trade winds at about 2 degrees south we have been making steady progress, we are now about 650 miles in.
Whilst we haven't stopped moving yet we have had a few patches of light winds an on o couple of occasions had to reef the sails when things got a bit boisterous.  That generally happens when it is also raining and dark.
We have had pods of dolphins 🐬 playing in our bow wave a couple of times and schools of flying fish jumping along side.
At night the sky is enormous,  Currently we have a full moon so it is bright but the stars are still visible,  once the moon gets smaller the stars will be amazing.  Last night I saw two shooting stars, I have never seen them so bright as here, like something from a fireworks display.  
Its generally going well, I am even getting more use to living in space which never stops moving.
