Well we are leaving bermuda and sailing off into
the beautiful sunset..After spending the night sheltering in St George Harbour,
i think we're the only people who leave bermuda as soon as the sun comes
out!!
Only two of us on board now, Greg jumped ship at
bermuda, (ocean sailing isn't for everyone.) so that means 1 less person to
share the kit kats with... haha..
its really exciting now feels like we're nearly
there, less than a week to go, we are full of water full of fuel and full of
food! we have fresh fruit and salad to cure the scurvy, lentils and pasta to
spice up supper time..
With only two of us now we're doing a slightly
different watch system, three hour watches at night and four hour watches during
the day time, whoever is on watch cooks and cleans leaving the off watch to
rest...we'll see how it goes..
ok im going to get my rest as im on the 11pm to 2am
watch next...
Thursday
A beautiful sunny day with scattered cumulus across
the sky. The wind has dropped steadily during the night and now we are
motoring, heading north west to put ourselves in a band of strong
easterlies expected on Saturday. Whilst that wind will be good for us, I expect
it will also come with thunder and lightning which will be not so nice. Tonight
we should pick up some south westerly winds and use our sails again before
moving into another area of light winds tomorrow
