We've now sailed over 2000 miles on this trip and we have less than 1000 to
go! Must not get too excited...
Had to restitch the bottom of the genny again in a different place, the
constant banging around is hard work on the sails.
The steering line from the WindPilot self steering chafed through today and
gybed the boat whilst I was asleep. Luckily the various preventers did
their stuff, but if it was blowing it may have been a different story... I
checked that line about two days ago, no sign of chafe at all in the place
where it went. Luckily had spare line ready for just that job, just in
case...
Wind very light today from the stern but not too much sea so the sails are
not banging around. We are having a pleasant day sailing; Monica has done
some clothes washing and I've been busy on boat jobs. The boys made a lemon
cake - yum!
