What a glorious morning to get out of bed to. From the right, very few tiny waves......

....on our left, the stunning blue sea just speckled briefly with white as a small wave tickles under Beez. I settle to the pleasurable task of setting up a plane and lure on to my yet unused reel and deep joy to once again be fishing. A win at backgammon, huh and growl, never mind that. We are spuddling along nicely at 6.7 knots using just the genoa. Sweet and sour chicken for late lunch. The sheer joy of a perfect passage..

Our second twenty-four hour mileage 149.7 bringing our completed total to 302.4. Days average 6.24 on lovely sea, bright sunshine and 12.2 knots of wind. The skipper at 12:26 and 19:57 show that he, like me, has fallen in to the perfect rhythm of life at sea.
 
 
 
ALL IN ALL IDYLLIC
