Sigh, its a bit bouncy and I've got a decent laptop. I.E. I didn't get it from pc world. Because its good it watches for shocks to the hard drive and moves the heads out of the way if it detects them.

I'm on a moving boat, in the middle of the pacific ocean. I think I've managed to turn it off, but when the laptops working hard such as now when the generator is on re rendering videos for the iPod it slaughters the performance. Just realised why it took about half my battery and ages to make this yesterday.


Lots of dolphins, and man this is a big ocean

I should point out that we're running fast, and I do mean fast we were averaging 8 knots yesterday, last night it was down a bit, still high sevens. There's not much current helping us at present either we're really running that quick. Judging by the roar of water passed my head, we're still charging along. To put this into perspective, when on Jackal last time it says in my blog for this passage that it took 6 days to get 500 miles. After 5 days we're already 770 miles in.
