Boy this long distance sailing is boring! I will be
pleased when this leg is part of the past. The only point of interest
this last 24 hours is that I had to end to end the main sail outhaul as it
had chafed nearly through. One of things I have to do daily is check for chafe
points and anything that is loose. Oh and we managed 207nm for the 24
hours.
The other daily chore, first thing, before they
adhere to the deck, is the 'butcher patrol' when all the flying fish and
squid are returned to the water. Our topsides are 4' high so don't know how the
squid make it that high?
In Galapagos we bought a huge stem of bananas which
unfortunately was consigned to the deep today as they had` all ripened together.
We are currently running under twin headsails and
praying for more wind so we can steady up a bit.
Cheers
