Pos’n at 10.00 Z/ATC today. Distance travelled 336Nms from St Helena, with
374Nms to go. So we are nearly halfway!
Wind 10-12 kts E/ESE, Speed @ 5.5-6kts, sailing this am.
Cloud cover 75%, Air temp 28.5C, Sea temp 26.6C, Sea still Choppy!
When getting frustrated on board with light winds or anything, get tough
and bake some bread! Bought some bread in St Helena which was average so decided
to bash some dough and yeast and hey presto – two lovely loaves of Pot bread.
That will keep us going to Ascension. It may be messy (at least when I do it)
but the end result is worth it.
And today is “get –out nasty creepy-crawlies” day as have been seeing a few
wandering around at night. So clear out cupboards and exterminate... I think my
aggressive side is coming out!
I hear weather in UK is still bad with another storm on the way if not
already there. Check your roof tiles and stay inside.
All the best from all on Karacool. |
