Our position is 17.03.78N 37.55.74W as  you can see we are past the halfway mark about 0600hrs this morning.

 

The sea is still quite rough and the winds 20-25 knots so we're bobing around a bit under our rreefed twizzle rig.

 

I'll keep the log short again today but I'll add notes to it at a later date, its to uncomfortable to write.

 

We have heard through the radio and ARC office of a couple of problems, a 100 foot yacht 'Mustang' was dismasted, all are ok, the yacht 'Compromise' 32 ft has had a problem, apparently according to crew the skipper has had a breakdown, the crew feel their lives are in danger and issued a mayday, yacht 'Mirabella' is comingto theire aid, and an alluminium boat was hit by a whale, damage was small and repaired.

 

You can see more on these stories on the ARC website www.worldcruising.com under ARC not arc europe, then checkout positions and or news etc.

 

Our friend James on apparition took a wave over the stern which entered his companion way and flooded the aft cabin soaked the bedding, and we heard another boat who was having trouble pouring his beer and wine, spilling most of it before getting his lips to it.

 

We are both ok and in good spirits, so far so good.
