Day two completed and a very pleasing days run
of 176.3nm and only 936nm to go !
41 19n : 23 8w
The weather is good and the breeze, up to 20kts
much of the time is carrying us along nicely on a broad reach. On this point of
sail greater stress is placed on the rudder and we noticed a few hours ago
that the top bearing on the rudder stock had worked loose. We tightened up the
bolts and alls well for now. We will keep a close eye on it every few hours and
adjust when necessary. We had a similar problem on the last AZAB when Johnny
and I had to tighten up the bolts every 6 hours. As long as we
keep on top of it there should not be a problem.
We have just had lunch and sadly had to
say goodbye to the last of the butter - it was more green than
yellow.....
