Just dropped the kite in the middle of what is becoming the longest week of my life at the end of the longest and loneliest and most intense six months since I first went to boarding school in England nearly 60 years ago. Wow! And there's a whale around - wonder if it's the same one Pete and I saw in Biscay in 2005. Trying to pull in a grib - Lizzie now has enough apparent wind to charge the battery again - one less problem - and we can use the computer. 345 to bishop rock so a bit under 3 days AGW. We'll decide what we're going to do as we close in - might still press on th Falmouth if the wx window seems open. Else, a day or so in St Mary's.
