Another rough night

ALICE'S ADVENTURES
ANDREW AND CELIA SHARPE
Mon 29 Nov 2010 12:24
We had a very rough day yesterday and a rough night again.  We saw more flying fish and several of them landed on the boat.  One landed in the cockpit.  George the 6'3" tall deckhand stood on the seat and refused to touch it.  What a wuss!  Chris came to the rescue and threw it back overboard.  It was the only fish that has been landed so far!
As usual for us the wind is on the nose! The choice was between going south east and back towards the Cape Verdes or carrying on a westerly course but also going slightly north again.  We settled for the latter. The wind has already died down to about 15 knots but the swell is huge and the sea state very confused.
The drawer below the settee fell out and broke its runners and is now tied on in the middle of the saloon.  Apparently Celia had put too much in it!!
