We did not manage to escape the front entirely last
night and Greg had a soaking on his 8pm - 10pm watch. After that, though, the
skies cleared and we had a glorious night with a huge moon. In fact, as we were
approaching the front we had a moonbow - like a rainbow but caused by the moon
- a lovely arc of pale white light.
Another beautiful sunny day today (Alexa says it is
not as hot as it looks - but she is the most optimistic of us wearing shorts at
the moment) although the wind has dropped and we are no longer spanking along as
we were at dawn.
