I thought the Half Way point would be a good a day as any to give you all a photo tour of what my typical day on board is like. So here you go. Indulge!.
PS. Apologies to those who have subscribed to Automatic News Alerts. I can only upload 3 images per page, so you may receive 5 email alerts for this post as it runs into 5 pages / 15 images.

Sunrise: Taken at 10.42 am GMT (08.00 am Mid-Atlantic time). A very gray start to the day. Spectacular special effects on the sunrise show due to the clouds.

Sleeping area & Water leak – Checking the level of water and bailing water out from the watertight compartments underneath the mattress. I'm using the survival suit stuffed with clothes as a pillow with a blue towel as a pillow case. Quite comfy actually. At the end of the cabin is the 1 inch fiberglass back of the stern with the rudder hinges on the other side.
In rough weather, it takes some getting used to sleeping with the noise of waves crashing on the other side. Almost everything, maps, music, vhf radio, electrics etc except the oars (unfortunately) is within arms length and a foot kick. Which is very very useful.

Primus – Tried to get the gas cooker to work by scraping off the corrosion. Some hot water to make coffee would be nice to celebrate the half way point. No luck however.
