Experienced my first experience of squalls, they really do knock your teeth out.

Had a fantastic display of dolphins before sunset, they must have been with the boat for at least two hours just jumping up in the air and being absolutely crazy at times. One dolphin made a huge jump out of the top of a wave, it was amazing.

For a change I decided to pick up my guitar today and give it a go. I've also had a chance to do some school work.

Last night had a call from one of my friends, which was a great surprise. Yeh, I'm really missing all my mates!

It has been really tough steering all through the day and night, at one point I jumped when a flying fish landed on my lap! To occupy myself I've been singing songs to myself and I've been missing my friends a lot too.

Forgot to mention that on leaving I noticed my self-steering was stiff and discovered some rope had become tangled in the gear. Unfortunately the only option I had was to tie a rope round my waist, dive in and cut the rope away!

The weather's really warmed up so I've been sun bathing at every opportunity.

In the daytime I spoke to Dad loads on the VHF radio, which was really nice. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon we put the clocks back four hours to be on Antigua time and that means we've probably had the longest Christmas Day in the world.
