0122am Night watch on an empty ocean, no moon, distant flashes of
lightning,sails/wind/rudder in balance with the hydrovane(wind powered self
steering system) keeping us on course. Almost a third of the journey to Bermuda
behind us,slow progress as light winds but wind increased tonight so speed
better. Karen producing mountains of good food. The realisation that reaching
Bermuda will mean completion of only a quarter of the overall distance is
starting to sink in. Just need to keep clocking up the miles. Steady persistence
will see us home- a good lesson for life in general.
Enough tired
ramblings. All well aboard, forecast for a bit more wind monday,light/variable
meanwhile.
