Sunday 19th July 9.00 BST
Position130NM N/W of AGADIR and 220NM N/E
of LANZAROTE
ETA LANZAROTE Monday night/Tuesday
morning
Winds N/E 4 or 5
Weather good- but rain heading our way
Much more comfortable night and got real sleep this
time (mind you only in short spells) but both feeling better for it
Apologies all round this morning for tired words at
5.00am swap over- I guess two experienced sailing guys in a boat together with
little sleep might occasionally step on each others toes, as they take out any
frustrations on the other- mind you it gives me something to write about
other than sleep/wind/ETA,s / nautical miles
or corny lines from classic films!
In Rhett's case -I put it down to a case of
dragging fishing lines for three days without a bite- that was not what he had
in mind as he came armed with some impressive fishing kit!
(In fact he,s amazed at what little marine life in
these seas and lack of bird life, other than a few shearwater and Porpoise
its been pretty lifeless)
In my case- well just ask
Deborah!
Wind much lighter now and only 140NM yesterday but
dead behind with pole out making 6- 6.5 Knots
Having to run engine to charge batteries as Genny
has small issue which I am trying to fix at sea
But both well and enjoying this pleasant
sailing
Guy
