Good Morning Frieds/Followers
 
Well where to start ,the last 24 hrs have been full of changes and challenges.When I wrote yesterday we had still 25 knots wind and very ugly seas.Shortly after the blog the wind died completly.we where rolling wildly with no wind.The winds where gusty and variable till late evening when a NE breze finaly came up and sice 2100 in the evening we have covered 50 miles.Yesterday was also a very wet day with continious rain. the same overnight and today.During the night the NE winds have killed the big SW swells and today is like sailing in a lake with only abt 1 meter wave hight.Yesterday afternoon we dicovered a problem with the Genoa roller furling.The drum had come loose and the furling rope was wraped around the bottom of the stay.We all worked as a team and by sunset the furling was operational again we where extremly lucky the winds was down to However we need to manufacture a tool to refasten the drum cover again so for the time beeing the genoa is resting..Today we are finaly able to make some proper food again to restore moods and bellies..
