Day 10
DTD 840nm

yesterday there was a bit more wind for much of the day and this morning there is a steady mid teens wind from the east so making a bit of progress now.

the big thing for us yesterday was being called on the VHF by "Penny Oyster" amazing in all this empty ocean to find a yacht in VHF range. We had never met them but we knew of each other through a mutual friend. we chatted and exchanged sail combination and weather info (its what sailors do!) they won the sail trumps game as they had their spinnaker up.... respect!
