Been having slight technical issues with loading up onto blog (nothing to do with my being as sick as a dog - honest. Don't think I am cut out to be a seafarer).

Anyway, onto more important matters. Been going almost 6 hrs. Lex averaging about 2 nautical miles per hour and she is looking relaxed and smooth. Early days yet but if she keeps going like this it will be fantatstic. She is feeling confident and almost seems to be enjoying the experience which is nutz given water is just over 14 degrees.

Sun is out now which helps matters but means she can't spot the jelly fish and seaweed piles for the glare off the water. Is incredible to watch her carve through it all though without so much as a second thought.

We are on strict feeding regime of every 30 mins now and she has just asked for pain killers. Assume is her shoulder and I hope this is a preventative measure rather than anything more serious.

More anon
