Monday night we reverted to ptting the pink
generker up, but the damaged fitting s would cut through the halyard in a few
hours, so every 5 hours we dropped the sail , cut of a metre of rope and
started agian, we don thave enough rope to do this for long !!
Tuesday morning we finally got some wind around 15
knts, then 20 then 35knts !!! so white sails reffed in all night and a
rough ride
, but at least we are making 9 knts in the right
directrion. Poured with rain last night and got very wet,
Today winds still at 20 - 36 knts so very
rough sea to cope with.
950 miles still to go
no fish and have given up !1
Tony has become top chef and bow man, charles still
cretaes the daily surprise, dinner last night was standard rough weather chilli
in a tin, great when charging along on the side .
We have set Monday as target to
arrive.
keep the emails coming
it s hard to type at this angle !!
