At last we have wind. Yesterday afternoon we decided to head further west
as we were in a no wind situation. After a few hours the wind started to build
to a gentle 10knts, enough for us to sail. Overnight the wind stayed constant
and as the forecast suggested increased at 0600 this morning. Since then we have
had 20-25 knts and Lion King is swiftly taking us south west. The seas are
impressive with a swell of around 10ft but with a 15 second gap between them. I
have given Paul the day off as he is exhausted. He arrived pretty tired and not
well but things have got worse for him. This morning he came to do his watch at
0600 and did not look well. He has not been sleeping well in the aft cabin due
to the constant noise from the auto pilot, so he has now moved into Natalies
cabin. Don’t worry Natalie has moved into the master suite and she is very
pleased to have her electric flush toilet back and personal TV.
So all good here, the sun is getting hotter and the butter is starting to
melt and that means we can soon turn right towards Antigua.
Take care all of you and thanks for reading our blog.
