Still storming along in our strong beam wind. Over
a third of the way there now. Usual problems: one navigation light stopped
operating as we left Bermuda (no problem, because we use masthead lights when
sailing, nav lights are only for motoring), rear toilet stopped flushing (but
seems to have sorted itself out unaided, thank goodness), catch broken on a
cupboard door (I expect replacement will have to come from Sweden), and most
worryingly our batteries are not holding their charge properly so we are having
to use the generator to charge them every few hours. We have had this problem
before - we evidently have an unresolved fault in the charging system. They tend
to be very expensive.
But the sailing is great. ETA late Saturday, or
Sunday.
