Second day out and we're getting into the
routine of 3 hour watches. Thankfully winds have been light aft of the beam,
seas moderate and the sky clear so far. Mostly we 've been running down wind
with the head sail poled out requiring the occasional gybe but nothing too
taxing. We have Kilki a couple of miles ahead, Kite 12nm to port andd
Dragonsbane the same distance to starboard plus at least 3 other boats within 20
mile range so plenty of radio chat. Winds are due to pick up a bit tonight
and there's a bit more cloud, apart from that all's well on board with 474nm to
go to our waypoint south of Madagascar
