Hi All,
It's 1130am (Bermuda time) and we are
chugging along at just over 7kts with a good breeze from the SW over our
shoulders. Jim is sitting singing to himself in the cockpit, Ian snoring on the
settee berth and I am typing so clearly all is well in the world!. Vis this am a
bit poor and we are promised some heavy wind later today but at least it should
be coming from behind and will push us along nicely in the right direction. No
sign of the other 19 boats apart from on the radio. Jim spotted a few dolphins
this am which did not come to play and we saw whale(s) yesterday pm. Saw the 2m
spouts but not close enough to see number or size. Had our first shower day
today - whooppee! Although we have as much water as we left with since we have
had the watermaker on when we have been charging batteries. Apart from that
nothing much to report. The motion of the boat has been great so far. It's like
being on a different boat compared to the St Lucia trip - nice steady seas from
the quarter.
Oh Jim has stopped singing and started
helming..........
Jim, Ian, Mike
