A beautiful sunrise and a classic Mackerel
sky - indicating change is on the way. The ocean is as smooth as glass
with a gentle swell, great shame were in a hurry and can't appreciate it. The
diesel tank also requires a top up and this is a good
opportunity - probably the last from the cans, I hope it is enough to get
us there. We have our engine ticking over half of the time now just to keep
our batteries topped up.
We've had a frustrating night with puffs of
wind from every direction but we have worked hard and the boat has not stopped.
We are currently making 3kts on our desired course of 250*M but its
been as low as 1kt at times.
And so to the diesel and then porridge for
breakfast (that's our favourite) when Matt rises and gets out of my
bed....his is wet again....please don't ask......
Dam, speed down to 1kt !!!
