Moana is doing the tango with the ocean waves as Team Gallagher go back and forth, round and round (see the photo or zoom in on the position map). 

Following on from yesterday, Clouds suggested the best they could do in the weather they had was to head south or south-west.  So while Team Gallagher does one step forward, two sideways and one back the good news is they managed to do exactly that - heading south in seas described as ‘sloppy’.

For Christmas Day they have requested the words to a good Christmas song.  I’ve suggested the Pogues ‘Fairytale of New York’ which will be on its way to their Skycom satellite phone to begin practicing for the big day tomorrow.  Other ideas welcome!
