390nm to go!
Winds are still very steady and we are sailing
along at an average of 6kts boat speed. Beautiful weather. From time to time a
big wave makes us roll quite hard but otherwise quite comfy.
There was a big activity onboard yesterday. The
spinnaker went up and down 3 times. Each time we spotted a tiny hole in the sail
and took it down to repair. After the 3rd time we gave up! But then we had to
take the Yankee down because some seams were unstitched. So Mike was very busy
at the sewing machine! Then it went up again only to realise we didn't attach
the head roller! . So down it came and up again. Holger was scarlet red in the
face as he was on the winch hoisting it up and that is a hard job!
Still trying to catch the next fish! Not an easy
task...
All good onboard
A demain
Mike and Catherine
