Heading down to 57° South, Andrew is noticing the temperature dropping; not quite as cold as Burra first thing (1.5°); but a fry up of beans and bacon grill at breakfast helped Andrew to ward off the cold in the South Atlantic.
Tomorrow (Tuesday), will mark 100 days since Andrew and Elsi left Falmouth. Calculating the number of messages sent via the website since he left, the support has been almost 4 messages for every day he has been away, which is incredible and certainly heart warming for Andrew. He never expected so many people to be keeping track of him and keeping him in their thoughts. So, thank you to all who have contacted and sent Andrew messages, but also Thank you to all those who we know are thinking of him constantly.

Close hauled sailing for a while with thermal first layers on! Leeway is just not fair! Keep going, the waves and wind of the Southern Ocean is what seperate the men from the boys. That is sailing with the weather. If you sail against it like you, with a boat like yours, you are a Giant of a man!!
If you see another Albatross , it’s me ! God Bless

Hi Andrew, pupils from registration class S.6, Northfield Academy, Aberdeen have been following you from about the equator and look forward to your daily log. Your descriptions and explanations of what you see and do generate so much discussion during registration,its like receiving an extra geography lesson every day for them.
We hope all will go well for you now that you have cast off again.
Regards S.6
