Day 5 – Shake, Rattle & Roll

   I like to shake my tail feathers every now and then like the next girl, but there was no enjoyable rhythm with the rock ‘n’ roll last night. Lini didn’t sleep at all and went back to bed for some time this morning before washing salt from their clothes. Si survives on minimal sleep as always. Luckily they aren’t seasick.

The winds and seas calmed during the day to NE F4/5 and I felt much more comfortable, especially after a sponge bath with the laundry rinse water. Apart from the radio net I haven’t seen or heard from any of the girls today, but position reports show them not too far away. We continued to play safe with my sails reefed and my crew always clipped on.

Breakfast – Mango, banana + yoghurt – Ensaimadas.

Lunch – Cheese and leek pasta bake.

Dinner – Steak, mustard mash + green beans.
