We've had our best day's run on this leg by far, by
clocking 147 miles in the last twenty four hours at an average speed of 6.1
knots, and the speedo is showing seven plus as I look at it now.
We've not had the squalls or gusts that were predicted
yet but we are ready for them if they turn up.
It was nice plotting the noon position on the chart
today because I can see Wales on it. Even though there are still lots of miles
to go.
We had more whales and dolphin yesterday
evening.
The one precaution I have started to take and that is to
do the dish washing in a bucket of salt water. So there I was yesterday morning
washing the dishes and pressure cooker, and after it was done I threw the water
overboard only to notice the pressure cooker washer disappearing astern in the
wash. For a fleeting moment I thought about stopping the boat and going back to
look for it. But then sense kicked in. I wouldn't have stood a chance of finding
a small black seal in the blue-grey water.
So it's back to the old cooker. Even though it doesn't
hiss any more.
