A decent breeze has finally arrived and the mood on board is much relieved.

 

Our daily routine continues to develop.  We have abandoned our old 4 hours on, 4 hours off watch pattern and we both are now getting a decent 7 hour sleep mainly during the 12 hours of darkness and only disturbed if a sail change / reef requires both of us on deck.  We then take turns to have a short nap during the day – so we are a lot happier, more comfortable and lots less grumpy!
