Wind, wind, wind! First we didn't have enough and
now its come in 3's! or something like that. We're all currently enjoying
zooming westward but the accompanying bumpy seas are making life interesting and
it feels as though we're all getting at least 1 new bruise a day! The winds have
also brought us a new activity which is squall spotting - after the first night
where we didn't realise what was going on and got battered, we are now very
viligant and there is always a pair eyes on the sky looking for ominous clouds.
Not that we can always avoid them but we do our best! Every last thing on the
boat that is not secure is also coming loose and sometimes leaping around the
cabins, but everything now seems mostly secure and this has quietened
down.
Thanks to everyone whose been having windy thoughts
for us - its paying off! Could we now ask for non-squally thoughts!
