Day 2 to Vanuatu  I’m used to going to bed at six in the
dark, so I was delighted this morning to see the light of
dawn.
   The first
try of the sun, the gentle pinks, the harsher greys.
 By six a lovely
sunrise.
After lunch the genoa was unfurled
and the engine was switched off, we glided in silence save the odd ripple
against the girl. We did indeed settle to games. I won at backgammon and
reported a new record at winnings - and so many weeks left to finish the year
with a massive pot. Don’t upset me. Then as
the water was as flat – as if someone had taken a iron to it, we played Mexican
train dominoes and I was given an easy win. I’m really
upset now. Then we played rummikub, Bear let me win ten to his three
and my winnings increased modestly. I’m really, really
upset now and need to start growling........
We notched up one hundred and twenty
nine miles.
Total two hundred and forty one
miles.
19:21.53 South 173:35.25
East.
So pleased to report save seeing a
little freighter at some distance, we had the ocean to ourselves. A hearty lunch
methinks.
ALL IN ALL PERFECT SAILING ON
A DUCK POND
GREAT TO BE SAILING IN BEAUTIFUL
