(so take off all your clothes)
phew what a scorcher....the sun is out winds are really lightening we are
carrying full sail and barely making 5.5 knots and its like a sauna downstairs.
Might need to put the donk on later as the wind dies right off and that’ll heat
things up a bit more ...I’m going to try and find a way to sleep on deck! plus
we have run out of bread (it went moldy) so kirsty is making bread too.....are
you getting the picture ...its blimmen hot. (not that you want to hear that back
in winter in uk)
anyway tonight we pass a real milestone ...halfway and we are putting the
clocks back to compensate for going west by 1 hour so we get an extra hour of
happy hour – 3 hours hoorah!!
Steve trailed a line yesterday and caught an enormous mahi mahi fish which
kirsty cooked up and apart from the slow speed this is what we all
envisaged the crossing would be like.
weve got a couple days of calm then back to honkin downwind sailing
hopefully
