Noon to noon run 178.5nm
Now in Company with Delicado, which is nice as we
can chat on VHF when we feel like it.The weather is overcast with the ocasional
squalls with winds going up to 22/23kts and more frequent rain showers with no
associated wind increase. The sea is still 'lumpy', we're bombing along with
full main and one reefi inthe working gib, doing up to 8kts at times and mainly
over 7 the rest of the time.
The fridge!!!!!!!!!!! What can I say; well I could
say quite a lot actually but it wouldn't reserect it so I won't bother. We've
made a (you guessed it) massive bean and chicken stew (two evening meals worth
of 'chook' in one pot, but it'll last about four/five meals). We have plenty of
tinnd tuna, corned dog and assorted fruit and vegghies in tins + pasta/sauces
and rice so we won't starve. At a pinch, we could haul in Monica (the towed
generator who's happily singing to us at the moment whilst she produces a steady
6/7 amps) and fish!
Anyway, all going well and everybody reasonably
content if a little bored from time to time.
