All well onboard. Another day's good progress
albeit under overcast skies. Noon to noon run was 170nm with North Easterly
Force 4 winds most of the time and the distance run on the log has
just clocked 400nm since leaving Mindelo. We put the clock back one hour
today so we are now on GMT -2.
Not much to report today. Since the distance to go
indication dropped below 2013nm we have taken up a game where every time the
reading is noted we try and think of a happening or event associated with
the"year" indicated. This has done more to reveal our combined
inattentiveness during school history lessons than it has provided
crew entertainment. We did however have a tot of rum each to celebrate the
Battle of Trafalgar when 1805 appeared today . (Not sure much else will
happen until The Great Fire of London... a sad state of
affairs).
