Very cold and damp night last night with heavy cloud cover. Had to dig out waterproof jackets and warm clothes!

 

Today was hot and still. Very little wind although what we had was at least favourable and helped us on our way. The only downside was the strong tide running against us, sometimes up to a knot.

 

Good SSB radio not with Apparition and Scott Free. Great news is that Scott Free have had their main autopilot fixed by the resourceful Kurt and they will be on their way to Tunisia as soon as their weather improves, which they hope will be Thursday morning.

 

We should reach Sardinia around lunchtime on Tuesday (tomorrow!)
