0800; 19deg44mins N 062deg22mins W. 6.5knots
towards Bermuda!!
Last night was a real cocktail with a little bit of
everything. Surfing at 10 knots , no wind, lots of rain. lots of lightning, wind
ahead so beating wind astern so dead running, engine on engine
off.!
Overall we did make ground to the
North.
In the middle of it all I swung out of bed and
cracked my forehead on the lee cloth pad eye. Nice bump and lots of blood so
doctor Steve did a fine job with the sterie strips and a big
plaster.
Morning is bright and clear with the wind from the
west so a beam reach at 6.5knots.
Unfortunatly the weather files are showing head
winds over the next few days so we will see! I do not fancy tacking for the
next 766 miles.
