Just plodding along... 17:27.92N 45:58.23W
Sorry for some very dull blogs lately buts its proved to be
a very frustrating time since passing the half way mark and us suddenly
thinking we’ve almost finished! Because we haven’t and at this rate
it will be a few more weeks! It seems to be affecting people roughly in line
with us on the way to Antigua, with a few boats slowing noticably as well. One
interesting to happen today is that we had a chat with Rob from Ocean Summit,
who are a few miles south and east of us, over VHF radio. Thats the first time
weve spoken to another rower since we spoke to No Fear in the first week. They
sound in good spirits but as frustrated as we are and have had a few problems
with their water maker which they think they have finally sorted.Found a few
more days of wet food in one of cabins! And as its so hot leaving on deck its
more than sufficient to heat it up. Have had a clean of the boat bottom most
days for last few and a quick wash at sametime.The sunblock works very well,
neither off us are burnt just very greasy which is nic to remove if possible
before trying to sleep. Should drop below 900 miles to go in a few hours and
then 800 2-3 days later. Pete the petrel still doing his daily rounds. |
