Persephone... Cruiser/Racer

Nigel & Karen Goodhew...

Sun 10 Sep 2017 07:25

This morning it is Atlantic grey. The wind has dropped of a little to around 12 knots but has clocked left a little to about 007 degrees.

Karen says she feels a little better this morning too, so that's good news. She manged to eat a yoghurt in the middle of the night and tells me it is still on board, as it were.

We are catching up a sail in front of us. I think it may be a catamaran from Martinique which left Santa Maria some 16 hours before us.

I have eaten the last of the boil in the bag meals that is not called "All day Breakast", so will have to do some actual cooking today.

Otherwise, all is well...kettle going on now!
