Day 6 dawns, seas are at their gentlest
today but the rocky rolly swell doesn't go away! Winds are NE Force 5 and
we're doing 8 knots with Stanley & the main, and hoping for more from the
parasail today. Our straight line to St Lucia is now 1884 miles long, in a
couple of days we hope to be half way there.
The days go by surprisingly quickly, mostly because
the simplest tasks take ages in the tippy rocky conditions. I find the fridge
contents incredibly socialble - every time I open the door they leap out with
great enthusiasm to say hello. I was especialy touched this morning when a whole
plate of ham & salami flung itself at my feet. I'm looking on it as an
act of hommage.
More flying fish landed on the decks overnight and
Steve had a real live bird for company overnight (and I don't mean his good lady
wife, Claire!)
More news and photos later - time for
breakfast
