More jobs done today before the 3 hour really heavy downpour. The rain runoff has already turned Jolly Harbour brown.

This morning there was a trip up the mast to put a stainless steel chaff strip on front of one of the spreaders held in place with insulation tape then speed tape. The spreader section is not wide enough to attach with rivets as there was on Rainmaker. This is to reduce wear on front of middle port spreader that often has the inner forestay banging when stowed.

The speed log was removed as suspected had bits of growth on as always seems to be under reading the speed with reference to the GPS SOG (Speed Over the Ground). It was covered in tiny crustaceans on impeller and down the walls inside and out. All cleaned up and sprayed with silicon to make very slippy for a while.

Galley and heads had a clean out.

All electrical items required for trip back fully charged including the portable light, computer for weather and emails, handheld VHF radio, battery operated angle grinder, electric razor and so on.

Laundry has been done and put away.

Managed to get a sea I lost for one of the jerry cans, so tomorrow we can get that filled.

We are planning to leave tommorrow, Wednesday and probably motor for 1^st 24 hours so we cannot see land then be prepared to just sail along at 3 knots. Todays routing again had upto 8 days motoring. If we decline motoring time to Azores anything from 22 to 26 days.ASI mentioned before we only have enough fuel for 4 days motoring so, if we do lots of it will keep one jerrycan until required to motor into marina or anchorage.
