Northerly F3 wind, running under twin headsails. Probably averaging 4 kts over the ground, with a slight following sea. In sight of Delicado & all is well. We're operating the watch system below:
0900-1400
1400-1900
1900-2100
2100-2359
2359-0300
0300-0600
0600-0900
Smokey & Night 'Awk will remember the system well, I'm sure. It gives a minimum, time off per 24 hours of 13 hours and the 'cook du Jour' has 19 hours off!!
All well so far, just lost sight of land!
