Hey whoopee! We're now officially in the
Tropics! Bit of a busy night.... pole out, pole in, pole out ... lots of
rolling around and very little sleep, but at least we all have our sea legs
today! Most of the day we've been goosewinging... now the sun has set - 7
pm - and Kit's cooked us a great chille.. and wind is dropping, so engine has to
go on. We played Scrabble most of the afternoon... strange in the middle
of the Atlantic ! It's definitely getting warmer. As we've had some currents
against us and not been able to go as fast as we wished, we'll probably get to
Cape Verdes on Monday evening... so will try calling family monday night or
tuesday.
lots of love to family and friends from Kit and
Nessa X
Hi Alison here, hello to friends and family. 3rd
full day att sea 4th night tonight so after tonight we will all have done all
the watches. Its getting dark later as we go westward but a lot warmer too
which is great - we're all looking a bit browner but witth two sails up and
headed south west the boat is in shade after lunch unless you're on the fore
deck! Saw more birds today but no more boats and still no flying
fishes! Pretty calm tonight not much wind looks like rain on the
horizon. Head down now more tomorrow. xx
