Persephone... Cruiser/Racer

Nigel & Karen Goodhew...

Mon 11 Sep 2017 08:18

A bouncy morning, 23 knots. Slabbed in no 2 reef yesterday. Changed down to no3 genoa this morning.

A good daily run o 080 his mornin, o 15 miles. Something like 60 to go to Quinta do Lorde so we should arrive this afternoon.

Karens seasickness subsided yesterday so we enjoyed a corned beef hash together last night.

The wind is howling, so I flaked the no 2 in the cockpit! Hot work!

Oherwise all well.
