Hallo to Family and Friends... Nessa here... we're
into our 2nd day... we DID actually get some sleep! Sporadically... with adverse
conditions... an hour here and there... but have made up for it with lots of
siestas throughout the day !
Only 637 miles to go... weather mixed, a few rain
storms and sunny spells... bit like crossing the Channel in the summer
!!
No fish sighted yet... excellent cuisine at this
floating restaurant ... this evening Patrick cooked us an excellent lightly
curried tuna and vegs pasta with a glass of rose, followed by a ripe camembert
with a glass of red... that's it for the day !
On the 222 course, with wind NW force 4, hoping that it will come round to the north in
24 hours. Taken down the main, so we sail by the genny at night.
Hallo to my Girls... hope all goes well in
Australia..for Josie and Pippa... any luck with work? Good luck Sophie
with your new job... and Bryony enjoy your holidays.. and Emily hope that the
placement is not too mad !!
love from Ness and Kit X
Just in case you're wondering, I am on the
boat!
Patrick ( I am sure you not expecting
any more)
Hi this is Alison hello to family and
friends! Getting into the swing of things now having spent our first whole
day and night at sea. Lots of sleeing eating and reading. Few rain
squalls today involved changing sails a lot but the weather has settled now
clear blue skies and constant 15knot wind though not yet a following one.Saw the
moon rise at midnight and then the sun at 8 on two different watches but it will
be someone else tonnight as we're moving on shifts to make sure we all do
different ones taking turns to do 2 hours each on watch. I'm on 1 till 3 the
sunhas just gone down its 7.30 to about to read my book then sleep. More
tomorrow x
