It was a beautiful morning, although overnight it was a
bit bumpy. I woke at 5.30 am and the wind had died down, so up went the mainsail
and we have been doing a steady 5k for the last six hours under an almost
cloudless sky. I must admit that Bellone is sailing well. The new main looks and
performs great, and the second-hand #2 genoa has set sweetly at the front
end.
Tomorrow promises to be a bit windy again and on Friday
I'm hoping to make a left turn and be able to head to either Cork or as is more
likely, Dingle.
The two fulmars are still following so I'm taking
that as a good omen. Mind you, if they weren't following I would still take that
as a good omen as they would have flown back home, out to sea.
Last night I made quite a passable rice dish, with
turmeric, garlic salt, sweet corn and tuna. It was okay.
Time to batten down the hatches ready fro the next
blow!
