We had company overnight initially bracketed by 3 boats but courses
diverged overnight and whilst we can still follow radio chatter we have no-one
in sight.
We had a make and mend session this morning, making running repairs to some
chafe damage on the genoa and looking for potential trouble around the
boat.
Domestic
More bucket showers and clothes washing. We are hot and sweaty but we
smell sweet !
We are also changing our watch system tonight to reflect local daylight
hours - dinner will be at about 6.30 pm and watches will run 8 - 8.
Natural History.
Nothing new today, but we have had the bimini up which limits
visibility.
Todays responses:
Em - sounded from the texts like you were having fun over curry.
Joe / Harvey - hope football was good
Lizzie - It must be cold, I hope they didn't drag you with them.
