Position Friday 25 April

The Flying Horse has become a horse and cart. We were called up by one of the boats nearbye to say that they had lost steering - hydraulics had gone. So we are now towing a 40 foot catamaran the 135 miles to Fatu Hiva. Luckily wind and sea conditions so far have been very benign, and we are under sail and making 4 knots which is pretty good under the circumstances. We keep fingers crossed the weather will last. At this speed we will get in late tomorrow (Sat)
Our position at 16.00 hrs GMT is 10 23 S and 136 24 W
