Nearing the half way point, less than 1500M to
go.
The wind is over 20Knts from the NE so we are using
a poled out full genoa during the day and a reefed one at night but still making
160M/Day. The wind is due to moderate in a couple of days so we will be back to
pretty coloured sails during the day and white ones at night. This is good 'cos
sail changes makes life a little more interesting. The sea is a bit sloppy (3m
swell) and the occassional large roller catches us out. It is a lot warmer now
and sleeping in the cockpit is now an option at night. We have
started playing cards, watching DVD's and reading books to relieve the boredom.
The scenery is quite stunning but it is the same every day. Jo misses most of
it, she can sleep for England! Ho hum, hopefully we will have something
more interesting to report tomorrow.
