We had a stormy stormy night , thunder and
lightening and torrential monsoon like rain , still hot though , Richard drew
the short straw and was on helm watch through the worst of the weather , at one
point the boat went round in a complete circle , but as dawn broke ( at nearly
9-30 am... we now realise we havn,t been putting our clocks back so we are way
out of kilter and no-one want to change yet) we had another gloroius day,
the boys were a little glum as it was a cleaning and washing day and they all
had tasks to do which in 95 degrees was a bit of a struggle, but we are
now shipeshape , we have now under 500 miles to go so not far now and we
are getting excited about seeing all the family and our friends from the ARC and
hearing all their tales .Had a conversation from another yacht 'Abim'
who have run out of gas and who are cooking in their breadmaker , very inventive
, havn't caught any fish in the last few days maybe the killer whales have
frightened them all .....
 Richard soeaked through in the
first of many squalls that drenched us . |
