We've had a fairly good twenty four hour run, clocking
in 155 miles at an average speed of 6.6 kn, and that with only a reefed mainsail
out. We have decided to do some very conservative sailing for a while after the
spinnaker pole incident! That said, Bellone is a delight to sail and she seems
to be enjoying the conditions at the moment.
I spent most of the night sat on our bean bag (our
biggest spinnaker in it's bag) in the companionway under the spray-hood and it
was lovely. Nearly a full moon, clear skies and nothing it sight.
Ian's experiment with the new mattress yielded
indifferent results although he is going to stick with it and maybe add a
lee-cloth (a cloth that is tied on the inboard side of the bunk) to stop him
falling out.
ETA at Playa Blanca, Lanzarote is around midday on
Monday.
Ian is looking forward to a paella, and I'm looking
forward to a shower. Funny no mention of beer
