Helena
![]() I got up this morning
to find us motoring. Gasp, shock horror, motoring. Wind three to seven knots on
a fairly flat, dreary looking sea under total cloud
cover, at least it’s a bit warmer.
![]() ![]() The skipper at 11:37 in
‘happy pictures’.
Yesterday we enjoyed another egg
salad, I lost at backgammon and asked for a revenge match that I lost five four,
getting beyond the growling stage now. Yes, but this
follows previous years – I get miles ahead, behind in money and then you gallop
off to the finish line. Put like that.......well, I don’t like this
phase then.
![]() The sun tried to
put on a show before sunset. Last night the wind was a fickle mistress
and we both found progress slow, Bear managed eighteen miles and me.....a poorly
sixteen.
At six this morning
we have covered 116.6 nmiles – our slowest yet.....
Total completed 718.2
nautical miles.
ALL IN ALL SLOW
PROGRESS
CALM BUT WIND
