At 1530 today Andrew  continued his journey with a barnacle clean bottom.  He is really pleased to be underway again and feels like he is going faster already, which is a real lift to his spirits.  It makes a big difference knowing the hull is clean. He says he will not really begin to relax until he is at least 30° S and into the Trade winds, so fingers crossed for the next few days.  Andrew chuckled when I reminded him this was his third time round the Horn within two weeks – that surely is some kind of record in itself!
