Last night we had Anthony's bean stew for tea. it
was very filling!
We are getting that little bit closer to Maderia
now. Passed Lisbon and had to cross a shipping lane. I was informed there
shouldnt be a problem, they have checked and there doesnt seen to be a boat in
site. Well they were wrong.As soon as i come onto my watch at midnight i have 5
seperate lights in front of me, all heading in different directions. Had to do a
bit of manoeuvring to stay clear but all well in the end.Kept me busy on my
watch. Safely crossed the channel!
I made us pizza bread for lunch, which was nice.
Nearly lost one down the back of the oven but i safety recovered it
ha!
Now just motor sailing along. 1 reef in the main.
Still heading south down the coast, Following the wind around to eventually head
straight to madeira.
Warrens turn to cook tonight. He has had every meal
easy so far with a ready made lasagne or cottage pie. Now he has to attempt to
actually cook. I think its bacon and pea risotto on the menu this
evening!
427nm left to Maderia
2.40pm- 1000nm done
Happy New Year!!!
