Hello as you have probably gathered by now each day a
different crew member writes the blog and today it is my turn (Sarah). Yesterday
was extremely hot with light winds which made progress slow but things picked
up after dusk and we made good progress overnight. Val and I saw another yacht
on the 8 -11 shift but apart from that it was an uneventful night sailing wise.
I was however, delighted to be greeted with a chorus of Happy Birthday sung by
the rest of the crew when I arrived for the 2-5am shift! Celebratory chocolate
was definitely called for! We hoisted the spinnaker at 8am and although in
these light winds it is difficult to fly we hope to break the sub 500 miles to |
