Last night was very rolly and we all found it difficult to sleep.
Steve and I had less than two hours, Richard a bit more as he has the crew cabin bed which has a lee cloth which stops you falling out of bed.
 
To crown all this, about 8am this morning, we had a wave come and squeeze in through the heads window aft and soaking our bed..  not a good start of an 8 night passage.
Today I have been trying to rinse the sea and dry them hanging off the bimini..  may make the boat go faster...
 
On my watch I had lots of thunder and lightening and some rain.. The wind picked up and changed direction so very busy time..
a few hours later it died down and went the other side so we had to gybe. about 1am.
 
we are a bit further north than rest of the rally, we though we might get better wind which we are at the moment but we are heading further south now as we have heard from 'Larooba'
who are further north that there is no wind..
 
hoping for a dryer night tonight and a bit more sleep :-)
