Today has been a calm steady day's sailing. The
wind has been light, 10 to 13 knots, and we have been reaching on white sails
towads Gib.
The crew of Persephone is rested and relaxed,
having each, in their individual ways, devised and mastered tecniques to
overcome the lack of a working loo. It has been surprising how varied and
ingenious the solutions have been.
Tonights supper is a beef stew, cooked in its own
jus, served on a bed of crushed madeiran potatoes and acompanied by
broccoli and carrots. Observers will note the increasd complexity of our supper
is inversely proportional to our angle of heel.
Karens ankle, injured walking in Madeira, still
gives jip, but the swelling seems to be reduced.
Otherwise, all well.
