Winds have dropped to variable; so motorsailing for
the time being. Dolphins joined us yesterday morning. Had success with the
spinnaker (hurray). Catering good - Colin concocted chicken stew (4kg of chicken
on board through earlier misunderstanding). Everybody seems to have found their
sealegs. Was swindled on the watermaker which, after two hours of effort - and
sweat, produced not a single drop of water. Kit refused to wear suncream (this
is for his mother) and accused me of acting like a 'seven year old girl' for
forcing him to do so. He has been actively reading his book, and you hear the
odd chuckle from time to time. Rhidian has started to retail highlights from his
book on D-Day, which I thought he would eventually, given time.
