Today we are motoring into ESE winds and travelling over a calmer sea. Paul is feeling better now after his usual day 2 visit from Neptune and a 24 hour Mal-de-Mer, feeding the ocean and trying to turn himself inside out. It’s good to see him smiling again, making jokes and enjoying food.

Homage to Catherine from Paul:

“You have been great looking after Kahia and me! As you have been so inspired by Ellen MacArthur I was proud seeing you crawling around the Fwd deck in full gear (lifejacket and harnessed on!)when a squall surprised us. That’s my girl, enjoying herself in wind, waves and rain, retying ropes around the mast, while I checked on your safety from the dry cockpit, glad I was unable to hear the words forming on your lips.”

 

The team is back to normal again, fully functioning and awaiting the arrival of a favourable wind. The watch system is now getting established as well, for us to get plenty of rest.
