Sea Squared`s Atlantic Circuit

A dry night!

Chris & Christine Swain

Mon 10 Dec 2007 13:32

No not the first night without alcohol: this is a dry boat at sea; well alcohol wise. We had no rain or squalls last night, first one since our half way celebrations, we all enjoyed the dry warm feeling!

The weather forcast now puts us south of the major thunderstorms in the region, and well away from a developing TRS (Tropical Revolving Storm), phew! So hopefully we are looking half reasonable for the last few days into St Lucia. That said we have just been hit by a 35kn squall and it's Praining it down, but at the nav station it is dry and warm, if a little like a tumble dryer in action.

Crew status is very good, happy and well fed.

Thanks again for all the text messages, that little "churrup" in the night is always most welcome!

Time to try and mend the loo now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...........................
