Noon to noon, we have covered 181 miles which is good
but the wind continues to increase and the sea has become very uncomfortable. We
are taking frequent waves over the boat now and so we have put the third reef in
the mainsail. As we are taking waves over the boat Columba's little spot in
the cockpit isn't suitable and we are finding it difficult to find somewhere
where she is comfortable. Inside the boat is a no-go for her.
However, ETA is still Sunday.
Most of our fresh food has now gone and I'm having to be
imaginative with the menu.
We met a lot of interesting people in Cabadelo, and
Harry was one of them. He is seventy two and he told us that he had flown his
plane to all continents some years ago. He is now trying to sail to all
continents, and he believes he will be the first person to do so. When he
departed, he was heading to Antartica.
We wish him well with his
ambition.
