Position 41.02.6N 24.35.2W
A lot better 24 hours. Engine was off after 4 hours as
were in some breeze. Code 0 went up and for about 6 hours often getting 8 knots.
Not long after midnight the Code 0 taken down as wind had backed and we were on
its wind angle limit. With jib out continued at about 6.5 knots and we are still
doing this heading a little north of the great circle route. The wind pressure
is due to drop in the next 12-18 hours.
No new breakages, Harold still not working well. I think
will need some professional advice of what is wrong as I think a sensor not
working correctly but not showing as a fault. Wait and see just hope it does not
get worse so we have to hand steer all the way home.
Dinner last night did not have raspberries but peaches
as they were in a big can and was easier to share out in to bowls in the flat
water. All other fruits we have eaten from the can.
Tonight it will be raspberries and before will be baked
beans with large Lincolnshire sausage with baguette.
STOP PRESS: Starboard Race display reported as frozen
will investigate once this has been sent.
