 Well, not much wind today, our lack of a dowwnwind 
spinaker shows itself all the time! I have spent most of the day hoisting 
various combinations of sail, trying to go a little faster, all to no avail! 
Next boat will NOT have aft swept spreaders, so I can actually use the main when 
running directly downwind. Hints or ideas anyone? 
During a period of calm, we swaped children with 
CM, Cathrine swam over to us, whilst Simon struck out for them. Then the wind, 
and sea picked up so we have a new crew tonight.  
We had a period of decent wind, but now it is 
droping off again. Both girls are desperately happy, sleeping out in the cockpit 
on our bean bags.
