All the Bananas are now dead. Eric hangs on to the
last of the truss. It doesn't look nice.
Saturday sunset. Eric cooks up a mid Atlanic
classic dish of hot dogs, smash and thinly sliced carrots followed by his
favorite, rice pudding laced with dried "apricots".(fond memories of his
Liverpool school dinners!)
Last night started off very well , we managed to
catch 2 boats that were on our distance horizon. We suspect that they were
running under engine as there headings and speed were too constant for the
conditions. In the end poor progress was made as we hit squall after squall
with heavy down pours, The wind shifts were as large as 50 degrees and
wind speeds varied from zero to 30 knots.
