(Phil) Day 15-we're in Sao Tome and trying to smuggle our new friend Sophia off the island and on to our boat.

She wants to escape from her violent husband and return to her home in the UK.

I'm always happy to help someone in distress and my reward for doing so is a bag of top quality cacao beans-something I have to collect as part of my challenge.

But there's no time to hang around.

I only have 65 days left to sail around the world, and I'm not sure if Passepartout wants an extra passenger. . .

Pete: Phil, I don't often complain but I'm not sure if we've got room for another passenger.

I mean, have we got enough food?
