Tuesday 2^nd December

I am not convinced that my last Blog was posted so I have repeated info above. Apart from the glorious fact that we haven’t motored nothing much has happened. But did you know that last night Venus and Jupiter were in conjunction, well we didn’t either until we looked it up. But within a very small part of the sky there were the two planets and a very new moon clearly visible.

We are now some 400 miles from Grenada and could get there as early as Friday but that depends on the wind……. Peter Hill has been reading a book about Robin Knox-Johnston in which it is said how reliable the North-Easterly Trade are! Well I wish he were here.

We are now running a solo watch system, each of us does a 3hour stint between 21.00 and 09.00 so, in theory, we get 9 hours sleep a night and two lucky people have an uninterrupted 9 hours. Sadly the rocking conditions are such that sleeping is quite difficult. We are running “ship time” which is GMT -2 hours. The sun rises 7.45 and sets at 19.30. Grenada, we think, is on GMT-4 hours; we shall see.

Anyway must go to do my fair wind prayers – no pics conserving air-time
