Sea sickness is debilitating particularly so when
its accompanied by winds gustin 19 to 27 knots, sails to trim all night and all
aboard pleased when dawn broke and the wind abated.
All aboard are now on a diret course to our
destination and for the time being we are eating up the
miles.
The tradewinds have arrived early and midmorning we
changed course and with the wind directly behind us set our rig to goosewing us
into the second night at sea.
We are on a course of 270 degrees and the sun sets
diectly over our bow, a couple of hours later a full moon rises directly behind
us and lights up a dark orange road to follow through the night which gave
us a battle scenario with a load of flying fish determined to join
us.
Our repaired autohelm is performing well and we
have made some adjustments to our helming computer which are making us more
efficient and will give us more miles traveling a staighter course.
For those interested our first 24 hours gave us a
run of 153 nautical miles, Mo Farrer can run faster than we sail now theres a
statistic.
Onward and upward
