Bermuda to Azores, 19th May

62:01.3W Hello everyone. Today we have made good progress
and, finally, in the right direction. Last night we had good winds but from
exactly the wrong direction so some time was lost.by being obliged to sail away
from our planned course.
Today has been mostly overcast but
with favourable and improving winds and a moderate sea. Nightime (get
it?) temperatures are falling as one would expect and even though there has
been no rain, our clothes are pretty wet at the end of the watch.
There was a momentary excitement early today when
it seemed that we had caught a fish but no fish was seen and thr rod was finally
stowed.. Bad Rod!
Once again we have eaten well, with foods supplies
holding up nicely. Bacon & eggs for breakfast - I think the refrigeration management has improved and we are reaping
the benefits.We have a list of food and where it
is stowed however, Thomas seems to have made some slight errors: We
decided to try the tinned ''Gulls Feet'' but could not find them anywhere?
Send us a mail Thomas, so we can enjoy them soon!!
Beer was the bravest of us all today, taking a
nonchalant bucket bath in the cockpit spa. It looked c.c.cold but he said
it was 'refreshing'.
We learned that 'Oboe' left Bermuda about 6 hours
after us and is out there somewhere.We will be keeping an eye out for her from
now on.
Routine chores continue but the sea movement has
made some of the tasks more difficult and some postponed.
Once again all is well aboard and we look forward
to keeping you up to date tomorrow. Meanwhile, dont forget you can sends emails
to crew members via Knightime {CHANGE TO AT} Mailasail {DOT} com.. hello?
anybody out there??
Goodnight from The Knightriders+
P.S. We've run out of that lovely banana bread
