Midday Position 39:03N 37:18W
Had a bumpy ride during the night, but we had SE
winds 20-25k which kept us humming along, over on a port tack with waves
crashing over the bow and the starboard side all night, was hard getting
around the boat as she was surfing along, day started okay but soon turned cold
and overcast so still wrapped up when we are outside, a good wind blowing all
day and we had 2 reefs in the main, with one in the mizzen, covering a lot of
ground at this rate as have the current with us as well. Chef Carmel not too
good in these conditions and none of us feel like eating any way, but Mark
produced one of his specialilties for lunch (which was a fry up of left overs
and rice) but great all the same, so Carmel pleased, Paul covered dinner for her
as well throwing together a canned supremo!! No nibbles tonight in 'Ahab's
Lounge' as we fondly refer to the stern of the boat, as too cold but did
notice Mark and Richard having a wee drinkie and some crisps about 5.30pmish.
They both have strong stomachs!! Winds of 25-30k kept up all night and I
had my worse night at sea so far, felt like I was in a tumbler going around and
around, finally dropped off when Paul came off watch at 4am, so will be tired
tomorrow, but should be a sunny day, haven't seen the sun in a day or so.
