day 10
today we turned west towards St Lucia after many
requests from our followers !
We have not found the strong trades promised.. Made
sonme progress today but with gusty conditions and confused seas the
auto pilot coudnt manage with the genaker, so as we are all tired we
sailed with white sails through the night, Generker going up again soon
though.
We planned for trip to last 15 days , now likely to
be 20 , so we are having to manage supplies a little !
Its a lonely place down here, we have seen only one
fishing boat in 4 days,,,
Still no fish caught and the only lures we have
left would catch Jaws,
keep the emails coming.

day 9
Another frustrating day , running out of wind and
drifted for 15 hours !!
Very hot, no fish caught.
This morning we have a little breeze and again
going slowly south west to avoid more windless areas !
Tuesday we are hoping for our WIND and then we
will catch up. (hopefully.)
The bar is now open so we are having our one daily
beer. Bread is the oven.
