A very frustrating night with such light winds but despite these light winds, the sea is anything but flat and the boat rolls in the swell and any sails we have up flap and bang and shake the whole boat.  The wind increased for a short while this morning but has been very light since about 11am.  We tried all sorts of sail configurations and course changes during the night but apart from passing a few hours it gave little benefit or peace to enable a good sleep.  We’ve definitely needed power naps today between watches but its not easy with the boat motion and we are all a bit tired.  Anthony has worked out that we roll 1560 times a day.   So a quiet and uneventful day.  Our next milestone is reaching the 1,000 miles to go which we hope to do tomorrow.
