Progress is so slow, despite weather forcasters
telling us the trades are here, they are not !!
We have had a number of problems, had to go up the
mast at night to untangle halyard, generator packed up in middle of night ,
which we have now fixed and just last night the fittings at the top of the mast
for the genneker failed, whcih means we can only use our white sails , so
even slower progress.!! praying for a gale !
No fish and all lures gone !!
We still haveenough provisiosn , just
! we have decided to plant the potatoes rather then eat them now.
Tony is doing his washing on deck. Charles just gave us our daily treat ,
'crushed ice with orange juice, little things bring so much joy !!
No one is enjoying this slow progress, we had
planned to be there today, now expect another 8 days.
hope for better news tomorrow
