Yesterday was a slow day with light winds as low as 5knts. We only made 115nm. Overnight we have had a few heavy showers with increased wind. This morning whilst making 3-4knts & bobbing around in the slop, we turned on the engine instead of the generator to charge the batteries & get some drive. After 45 minutes the wind picked up to 15knts & we had another heavy rain shower. We are currently making 8knts for the first time since leaving Cape Town!
