Call it Day 5, but day 1 doesn't count - since Bluebottle left Port Maurelle, Tonga, late in the afternoon It is the 4th night out, and I have put the kettle on (can you hear the whistling kettle, see the blue and purple and orange flames?) Some times a cup of tea will take AGES to make, and all that time you have to keep 2 mugs and the milk carton from falling over as the boat jumps and rolls her rails down.

But tonight the motion is quiet, pleasurable ..soothing.
