What a stark contrast to yesterday. The steady 25 Knt winds and sunny skies have been replaced with light winds and squally showers. The showers are too frequent and gusting upto 30+ Kts to allow us to put up a spinaker. So we are making the best progress we can with polled out head sails in a sloppy 'left over' sea. Frustrating to say the least bearing in mind our progress over the last couple of days and that Barbados is so close yet so far away (where have I heard that before?).
 
So to keep myself amused and the crew suitably fed, I baked some fresh bread and rolls.
 
 
They were scrummy and I earned myself the new title of 'Pilsbury Dough-Boy'. A little to apt for my liking. The truth hurts you know!
