1st night at sea

Stella

19:02.4N 063:16.6W

Position at 0300h UTC

Since we left Road Bay earlier today we’ve been sailing well in 15-18kts of ENE breeze. We’re hard on the wind but laying the course to Bermuda.

The new moon is giving some light, but otherwise it’s a dark night. It’s still shorts and t-shirt sailing so it can’t be that bad! Only 800 miles to go.....
