Not such a good nigh,t our position is 18.26.00N 32.31.00W, the forecast was a little optimist and the wave size was a little bigger than anticipated, so was the wind.

Non was a little unhappy, combination of lack of sleep from the previous rolly night and being worried about Chris and Fritz being nearly pushed over taking water in the cockpit, and the fact that a 100 ft sailboat was dismasted, (nobody hurt).

We haven't had any problems yet we're just trundling along at 7 knots. Yvonne tends to worry about what could happen, I worry when it does. Maybe its a bloke thing, when the boat surfs, with me its a woohoo! 10 knots, with Non its woo bloody hoo! do something slow it!

Anyway we both shared watches last night and grabbed some sleep when we could, and will make up for it today, hopefully the sea are easing tonite, they're a bit better now,

Had a good fry up this morning bacon, eggs, sausage mushrooms and homemade bread.

Until tomorrow
