The start was a bit busy to say the least but it was all well behaved. We
settled ourselves at the back to give the rest a chance, including the
racing division who cheated by starting 20 minutes earlier than us It's in
the rules somewhere!)
The afternoon progressed and after some extended foredeck work we decided
that a restful night was required by all and so we put the engine on and
motored. No prizes for us. Today has been a bit of the same with very little
wind but a more significant swell.
We ate later than normal last night and had the chef's special. Eating in
the dark and identifying the ingredients has become a new game on Prim
Teaze.
That's all for now.
