It sounds as though our cancellation of 1st December
worked well as we didn't get any of the chilly weather currently being
experienced back home in the UK. No snow here ... it's HOT! We've had a good 24
hours sailing and currently have the spinnaker up in 12 knots of easterly
wind. Excellent! We have seen a few ships and yachts but that's a relative term
with one or two a day.
Our night watches have been good fun since so far from
land there is no light pollution and shooting stars can be counted at 5 or
10 an hour.
Philip has been making bread under Colin's tuition, Mark
is learning spinnaker trimming from Chris and Andy has got up for a few minutes.
Ben is working on more sun sights. It's all been very busy.
Having canceled 1st December, more by accident than
design, and having 31st November instead ... we are contemplating having a
public holiday in a few days time. We cannot quite decide when this will be and
it may not happen at all as we cannot work out what the impact of such a public
holiday would be. Maybe Andy works on public holidays as it's double
pay?
