Distance Run last 24 hrs 116 nm
 
Distance Run since start  1030 nm
 
Distance to go 1091 nm 
 
 
 
Distance run is a little low as expected and the wind has been coming from slightly south of east which is not expected (forecast has been slightly north of east for days).  This has made it more difficult to achieve the direction we want but we plod merrily on - or should that be we plod on merrily?
 
We both treated ourselves to showers again yesterday after the genoa furler exertions but our sleep opportunities were taken away somewhat so we are trying to catch up when we can.  One more flying fish on deck overnight.
 
It's definitely getting warmer and Lin has swopped her trousers for shorts this morning!
