A relatively uneventful night. Some banging of the
sail on the rig but otherwise fine. The trinulations of full battens mean that
they can invertin light wind and large sell. When they reform into the correct
curve, the sail crashes into the rig. Down below, it can be alarming, as we sit
inside our floating timpani drum. We continue on port gybe, which is marginally
favourable just now. I hope the wind will start to swing round towards the north
for the last 500 miles and that we can gybe on that for a fast
finish.
Still dark, but starry, so today might be as hot as
yesterday. 1040 miles to go!
