Last 24 hours have seen lots of wind conditions.
Yesterday afternoon motor/sailing with glassy water and 0 knots. The last 12
hours the wind has been building and now 25-30 knots in the Atlantic Ocean, with
3 reefs in the main and working jib up.
Engine has run well without any leaks to fuel filter
bodge.
Whilst cooking dinner last night, chicken in white sauce
with carrots and peas with hot baguette followed by tinned pear halves, looked
for somewhere to store rubbish we forgot to offload in Poole found fresh water
in the locker. Not really sure where it has come from but due to a tell tale
sign of water on top of tank removed cover and resaled it. Too bumpy to remove
cushions and lids to see if improvement. will be 2nd job on new todo list, fuel
filter being the 1st.
John up on deck ensuring we do not collide with a cargo
ship that when 8 miles away we still could not see should be 3 miles away
now.
We have had 3 visits by dolphins, once staying with us
for 30 minutes putting on there well rehearsed displays.
That's it for today I had better go and takeover on
deck.
