Position 17.22.9N 034.44.9W

What a day yesterday!!! Three subtropical downpours with visibility down to zero in the heaviest rain, the radar was just a screen of yellow and blue. Winds peaked at 35 knots and Lion King flew. Then no wind and engine on, then within minutes back in strong winds again. Pretty much the same overnight but today the sun is doing its best to win the battle, the temperature has increased and the wind has moderated a little too much, another 10 knots please wind god. Apart from that all is good, the crew are slowly getting into routine and the routine is what keeps us sane!! Sleep when you can because the downtime is always interrupted by the noise of the boat, banging, clanging, squeaking, rocking rolling. Some cope better with sleep deprivation  than others. We are nearly half way with 1547 miles to run, nearly in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Traditionally, we stop for a swim but we will reserve judgement on the day.

Thats it

Take care back home

Till Tomorrow
