daily satphone report sunday 13/1/13 1400 hrs
Position - 14*50.8'N
                 70*.07'W
Course 240 degrees True at 7 knots
Wind E 19
A cheerful Katie reports wind has picked up to 19 knots, the wind has gone more Easterly so the gib is no longer goosewinged on the opposite side to the mainsail, they have taken down the jib pole and are sailing on port gybe a little faster.  She is feeling tired but not seasick anymore, Gary is sounding very cheerful and confident, they are seeing dolphins every day, and saw baby dolphins today.  3 container ships sighted today, and they can see a yacht ahead (slowly getting bigger as they overtake her).
Looking forward to reaching half way point tomorrow morning sometime - in the family tradition Gary must organise a captains party to celebrate; Katie hopes she'll be invited!
Forecast for steady 20 knot easterlies.
